Photochemistry of interstellar ice forming complex organic molecules
Nature Reviews ChemistryAstrochemistry is a well-established multidisciplinary field devoted to study molecules in space. While most astrochemists are oriented to observe molecules in the gas phase and reproduce their abundances by modeling the physical conditions of the medium, the microscopic dust particles wandering in the interstellar medium deserve the attention of a ...

Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2022 The investigation of reaction mechanisms in the interstellar medium requires the evaluation of reaction rates and branching ratios, which can be effectively obtained in the framework of the ab-initio transition state/master equation formalism.

Hydrogen transfer reactions of interstellar complex organic molecules [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2018 Radical recombination has been proposed to lead to the formation of complex organic molecules (COMs) in CO-rich ices in the early stages of star formation. These COMs can then undergo hydrogen addition and abstraction reactions leading to a higher or lower degree of saturation.

Organic Molecules in the Galactic Center. Hot Core Chemistry without Hot Cores [PDF]
, 2006 We study the origin of large abundances of complex organic molecules in the Galactic center (GC). We carried out a systematic study of the complex organic molecules CH3OH, C2H5OH, (CH3)2O, HCOOCH3, HCOOH, CH3COOH, H2CO, and CS toward 40 GC molecular ...

An arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus accelerates decomposition and acquires nitrogen directly from organic material [PDF]
, 2001 Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (order Glomales), which form mycorrhizal symbioses with two out of three of all plant species, are believed to be obligate biotrophs that are wholly dependent on the plant partner for their carbon supply.

Trapping and desorption of complex organic molecules in water at 20 K [PDF]
, 2015 The formation, chemical and thermal processing of complex organic molecules (COMs) is currently a topic of much interest in interstellar chemistry. The isomers glycolaldehyde, methyl formate and acetic acid are particularly important because of their ...

Interferometric Observations of Complex Organic Molecules [PDF]
Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2005 Rich molecular complexity has been shown to exist in star forming regions primarily through millimeter to submillimeter single-dish spectral line surveys or searches over the years. With a few case studies, we demonstrate that interferometric observations are a powerful tool for advancing our knowledge of the chemical processes related to the formation
