Electron irradiation and thermal chemistry studies of interstellar and planetary ice analogues at the ICA astrochemistry facility [PDF]
The modelling of molecular excitation and dissociation processes relevant to astrochemistry requires the validation of theories by comparison with data generated from laboratory experimentation.

Three-body aggregation of guest molecules as a key step in methane hydrate nucleation and growth
Gas hydrates have an important role in environmental and astrochemistry, as well as energy materials, but the hydrate nucleation process is not fully understood.

Small, inorganic hydrides are likely hiding in plain sight, waiting to be detected toward various astronomical objects. AlH2OH can form in the gas phase via a downhill pathway, and the present, high-level quantum chemical study shows that this molecule ...

Silicates are ubiquitously found as small dust grains throughout the universe. These particles are frequently subject to high-energy processes and subsequent condensation in the interstellar medium (ISM), where they are broken up into many ultrasmall ...

Fate of the Gas-Phase Reaction Between Oxirane and the CN Radical in Interstellar Conditions
The escalating identification of new complex molecules in the interstellar medium claims for potential formation routes of such species. In this regard, the present work considers the reaction between oxirane and the CN radical as a feasible formation ...

Complex Organic Matter Synthesis on Siloxyl Radicals in the Presence of CO
Heterogeneous phase astrochemistry plays an important role in the synthesis of complex organic matter (COM) as found on comets and rocky body surfaces like asteroids, planetoids, moons and planets. The proposed catalytic model is based on two assumptions:

Cretaceous-Tertiary boundary deposits in Denmark: A diachroneity [PDF]
The lateral distribution of predominantly terrestrial kerogen or humics enriched with copper(II) porphyrins (Cu-P) across the Danish marine basin implies that the alleged Cretaceous-Tertiary (KT) boundary deposits in western Denmark (at the Nye Kløv ...

Interstellar dimethyl ether gas-phase formation: a quantum chemistry and kinetics study [PDF]
Dimethyl ether is one of the most abundant interstellar complex organic molecules. Yet its formation route remains elusive. In this work, we have performed electronic structure and kinetics calculations to derive the rate coefficients for two ion ...

Astrochemistry of dust, ice and gas: introduction and overview
A brief introduction and overview of the astrochemistry of dust, ice and gas and their interplay is presented, aimed at non-specialists. The importance of basic chemical physics studies of critical reactions is illustrated through a number of recent ...

Mechanisms of Electron-Induced Chemistry in Molecular Ices
Electron-induced chemistry is relevant to many processes that occur when ionizing radiation interacts with matter. This includes radiation damage, curing of polymers, and nanofabrication processes but also the formation of complex molecules in molecular ...
