Probing non polar interstellar molecules through their protonated form: Detection of protonated cyanogen (NCCNH<sup>+</sup>). [PDF]
Astron Astrophys, 2015 Cyanogen (NCCN) is the simplest member of the series of dicyanopolyynes. It has been hypothesized that this family of molecules can be important constituents of interstellar and circumstellar media, although the lack of a permanent electric dipole moment

Organic Molecules in Interstellar Space: Latest Advances [PDF]
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 ...

Observational astrochemistry: The quest for interstellar molecules [PDF]
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2012 Over 160 molecular species, not counting isotopologues, have been identified in circumstellar envelopes and interstellar clouds. These species have revealed a wealth of familiar, as much as exotic molecules and in complex organic (and silicon) compounds,

Formation of Complex Organic Molecules in Cold Interstellar Environments through Nondiffusive Grain-surface and Ice-mantle Chemistry [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2020 A prevailing theory for the interstellar production of complex organic molecules (COMs) involves formation on warm dust-grain surfaces, via the diffusion and reaction of radicals produced through grain-surface photodissociation of stable molecules ...

The chemistry of interstellar molecules containing the halogen elements [PDF]
, 2009 Although they are only minor constituents of the interstellar medium, halogen-containing molecules are of special interest because of their unique thermochemistry. Here, we present a theoretical study of the chemistry of interstellar molecules containing

Non-equilibrium processes in interstellar molecules [PDF]
, 1979 The types of nonequilibrium emission and absorption by interstellar molecules are summarized. The observed brightness emission temperatures of compact OH and H2O sources are discussed using the concept of maser amplification.

Considerations Regarding Interstellar Molecules [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 1937 An attempt has been made to compute the numbers of certain molecules in interstellar space. The results obtained are unfavorable to Saha's identification of one of Merrill's interstellar lines with Na2. A search for the bands of CH, OH, NH, CN, and C2 would appear to be promising.

Surface formation routes of interstellar molecules: hydrogenation reactions in simple ices [PDF]
, 2011 It has been a long standing problem in astrochemistry to explain how molecules can form in a highly dilute environment such as the interstellar medium. In recent years it has become clear that not only ion/radical-molecule gas-phase reactions, but also ...
