Redefining proton affinity for heteronuclear molecular species: quantum chemical insights

Discover Chemistry
One of the main problems with experimental methods for detecting proton affinity (PA) is that they cannot perform site-specific protonation. For heteronuclear molecular species that have two or more protonation sites, the experimental PA measurement only

Reaction Networks For Interstellar Chemical Modelling: Improvements and Challenges

, 2010
We survey the current situation regarding chemical modelling of the synthesis of molecules in the interstellar medium. The present state of knowledge concerning the rate coefficients and their uncertainties for the major gas-phase processes -- ion ...

Water Vapor in the Inner 25 AU of a Young Disk around a Low-Mass Protostar

, 2010
Water is one of the key molecules in the physical and chemical evolution of star- and planet-forming regions. We here report the first spatially resolved observation of thermal emission of (an isotopologue of) water with the Plateau de Bure ...

UV–Vis Spectra of Carbonic Acid: Rationalizing Experimental Redshifts between Monomer and Bulk based on (H2CO3)n Calculations

ChemPhysChem, Volume 26, Issue 18, September 19, 2025.
In bulk carbonic acid (e.g., in interstellar icy dust grains) cluster formation produces two distinct UV‐Vis spectral features redshifted by ≈2 eV (25 nm) and by ≈5 eV (80 nm) compared to gas phase single molecule carbonic acid 's adiabatic ionization energy. Theory and experiment were used to investigate the origin of these shifts.

Nature's Starships II: Simulating the Synthesis of Amino Acids in Meteorite Parent Bodies

, 2015
Carbonaceous chondrite meteorites are known for having high water and organic material contents, including amino acids. Here we address the origin of amino acids in the warm interiors of their parent bodies (planetesimals) within a few million years of ...

Mellitic Acid as a Stable Abiotic Precursor for Liquid‐Liquid Phase Separation: An RNA‐Independent Pathway for Prebiotic Compartmentalization

Chemistry – A European Journal, Volume 31, Issue 52, September 16, 2025.
Evidence is presented that prebiotically accessible mellitic (benzenehexacarboxylic) acid (MAc) is forming liquid droplets with short poly‐L‐lysine. The capacity of MAc to induce liquid‐liquid phase separation with short oligocations, along with abiotic synthesis routes, makes MAc a viable candidate for an ingredient of early prebiotic membraneless ...
