Surface astrochemistry: a computational chemistry perspective [PDF]
Molecules in space are synthesized via a large variety of gas-phase reactions, and reactions on dust-grain surfaces, where the surface acts as a catalyst. Especially, saturated, hydrogen-rich molecules are formed through surface chemistry. Astrochemical models have developed over the decades to understand the molecular processes in the interstellar ...

Astrochemistry: Synthesis and Modelling [PDF]
We discuss models that astrochemists have developed to study the chemical composition of the interstellar medium. These models aim at computing the evolution of the chemical composition of a mixture of gas and dust under as- trophysical conditions. These conditions, as well as the geometry and the physical dynamics, have to be adapted to the objects ...

Recommended Thermal Rate Coefficients for the C + H$_3^+$ Reaction and Some Astrochemical Implications [PDF]
We have incorporated our experimentally derived thermal rate coefficients for C + H$_3^+$ forming CH$^+$ and CH$_2^+$ into a commonly used astrochemical model.

Isolation and Structure Elucidation of the Heterocumulene Anions [NCC‐L]− (L=CO, CS, N2)
The cumulated 5‐atomic cyanodiazomethanide [NCCNN]− and thioketenyl anion [NCCCS]− were synthesized from the metalated ylide and ketenyl anion, respectively. Both anions exhibit unexpected stability, but with notable structural differences. While the cyanodiazomethanide features a distinctly bent geometry, the thioketenyl anion was found to be linear ...

Ionize Hard: Interstellar PO+ Detection
We report the first detection of the phosphorus monoxide ion (PO+) in the interstellar medium. Our unbiased and very sensitive spectral survey toward the G+0.693–0.027 molecular cloud covers four different rotational transitions of this molecule, two of ...

Constraining chemical networks inAstrochemistry [PDF]
Databases of gas and surface chemical reactions are a key tool for scientists working in a wide range of physical sciences. In Astrochemistry, databases of chemical reactions are used as inputs to chemical models to determine the abundances of the interstellar medium.
