Circumstellar and Interstellar Synthesis of Organic Molecules
Origins of life and evolution of the biosphere, 1997We review the formation and evolution of complex circumstellar and interstellar molecules. A number of promising chemical routes are discussed which may lead to the formation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon molecules, fullerenes, and unsaturated hydrocarbon chains in the outflows from stars.

Abstract Some 70 different molecular species have so far been detected variously in diffuse interstellar clouds, dense interstellar clouds and circumstellar shells. Only simple (diatomic and triatomic) species exist in diffuse clouds because of the penetration of destructive ultraviolet radiations, whereas more complex (polyatomic ...

We propose that photocycloaddition reactions in molecular complexes in normal interstellar clouds will create unusually large molecules. These may be sufficiently radiation stable to be circulated with the interstellar gas, and so provide convenient nucleation centres for growth of loosely bound grains in dark regions.

Interstellar Molecules and Astrochemistry
1988The quantitative study of the interstellar medium (ISM) began with Hartman’s detection in 1904 of the resonance lines of Ca and K, seen in absorption against bright stars by intervening diffuse clouds. Other atoms (Na,Fe,Ti) were subsequently detected, although the overwhelming abundance of H was not recognized until the 1930s.

Molecules in Interstellar Clouds
1981The physical and chemical state of interstellar clouds is reviewed, including recent investigations at the Onsala Space Observatory. The Orion A region is chosen as an example of a “giant” molecular cloud and hence a formation site for massive stars. The Taurus Molecular Clouds, in contrast, may be the future birthplace of solar-type stars.

Interstellar molecule reactions
Reviews of Modern Physics, 1976Considerable progress has been made during the past five years toward a quantitative understanding of the formation and destruction processes for interstellar molecules. Two areas have been most successful---investigations of the formation process for molecular hydrogen on the surfaces of dust grains and studies of reactions involving positive ions in ...
