ASTROCHEMISTRY OF STAR FORMATION

Odessa Astronomical Publications, 2013
Star formation is one of the key pro­cesses governing the evolution of the Universe. It is ac­companied by significant transformations in the chem­ical composition and the physical state of the inter­stellar medium. Combining observations in infrared and

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,

Spectral Signatures of Hydrogen Thioperoxide (HOSH) and Hydrogen Persulfide (HSSH): Possible Molecular Sulfur Sinks in the Dense ISM

Molecules, 2022
For decades, sulfur has remained underdetected in molecular form within the dense interstellar medium (ISM), and somewhere a molecular sulfur sink exists where it may be hiding. With the discovery of hydrogen peroxide (HOOH) in the ISM in 2011, a natural

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

International Journal of Chemical Kinetics, EarlyView.
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.

Organic Molecules in Interstellar Space: Latest Advances

Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2022
Although first considered as too diluted for the formation of molecules in-situ and too harsh an environment for their survival, the interstellar medium has turned out to host a rich palette of molecular species: to date, 256 species, not counting ...

First astronomical detection of the CF+ ion

, 2005
We report the first astronomical detection of the CF+ (fluoromethylidynium) ion obtained by recent observations of its J = 1 - 0 (102.6 GHz), J = 2 - 1 (205.2 GHz), and J = 3 - 2 (307.7 GHz) pure rotational emissions toward the Orion Bar.

Ion Source Complementarity for Characterization of Complex Organic Mixtures Using Fourier Transform Mass Spectrometry: A Review

Mass Spectrometry Reviews, Volume 44, Issue 5, Page 808-829, September/October 2025.
ABSTRACT Complex organic mixtures are found in many areas of research, such as energy, environment, health, planetology, and cultural heritage, to name but a few. However, due to their complex chemical composition, which holds an extensive potential of information at the molecular level, their molecular characterization is challenging.
