Ionize Hard: Interstellar PO+ Detection

Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2022
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 ...

Effects of turbulent dust grain motion to interstellar chemistry

, 2015
Theoretical studies have revealed that dust grains are usually moving fast through the turbulent interstellar gas, which could have significant effects upon interstellar chemistry by modifying grain accretion.

Astrochemistry

Plasma Sources Science and Technology, 2015
In the last 40 years a wide range of molecules, including neutrals, cations and anions, containing up to 13 atoms—in addition to detections of C60 and C70 — have been found in the harsh environment of the interstellar medium. The exquisite sensitivity and very high spectral and, more recently, spatial resolution, of modern telescopes has enabled the ...

Atomistic Modeling of Methyl Formate and Glycolaldehyde Formation on Interstellar Dirty Ice Mantles via a “Radical + Ice” Mechanism

ChemPlusChem, EarlyView.
The presence of interstellar complex organic molecules (COMs) has been baffling astrochemists for a long time. Methyl formate and glycolaldehyde are widely detected but their abundances mismatch kinetic astrochemical model predictions. Here, the formation of these two COMs is characterized onto a mixed ice surface, highlighting the importance of ...

Ice Ic without stacking disorder by evacuating hydrogen from hydrogen hydrate

Nature Communications, 2020
Metastable cubic ice has been identified in several conditions relevant to geo and astrochemistry, but was always characterized by stacking disorder. Here the authors synthesize a hydrogen hydrate and degas hydrogen, obtaining pure non-defected cubic ice,

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 ...

Kinetics and Thermodynamics of Tautomerization Reactions of 1,1‐ and 1,2‐Ethenediols

International Journal of Chemical Kinetics, Volume 57, Issue 12, Page 687-696, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Tautomerism is a common phenomenon amongst organic molecules with easily interconvertible isomers, which can impact drug action and toxicity. Here we are interested in the enols of carboxylic acids, which are known to be much less stable than their acid counterparts.

Isolation and Structure Elucidation of the Heterocumulene Anions [NCC‐L]− (L=CO, CS, N2)

Angewandte Chemie, Volume 137, Issue 13, March 24, 2025.
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 ...
