Considerations Regarding Interstellar Molecules [PDF]

open access: yesThe 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.

Molecular Hydrogen Formation via Vibrational Excitation of Partially Superhydrogenated Pyrenes

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
While polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are now accepted to be abundant in interstellar space, the abundance and influence of superhydrogenated PAHs (HPAHs) in the interstellar medium (ISM) are still under investigation.

Controlled Formation and Unusual Reactivity of Cyanohexatriyne (HC7N), a Synthetically Challenging Interstellar Cyanopolyyne

open access: yesChemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
First controlled formation of cyanohexatriyne (HC7N) is achieved using a cobalt–alkyne masking strategy that overcomes the intrinsic instability of nitrile‐substituted polyynes. The approach enables spectroscopic validation of HC7N and reveals its pronounced electrophilicity through a selective conjugate addition with diethylamine.

A Complete HCN Survey of the Perseus Molecular Cloud

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We present a survey of the Perseus molecular cloud in the J = 1 → 0 transition of HCN, a widely used tracer of dense molecular gas. The survey was conducted with the CfA 1.2 m telescope, which at 89 GHz has a beamwidth of 11′ and a spectral resolution of

Gas-phase Chemistry in the Interstellar Medium: The Role of Laboratory Astrochemistry

open access: yesFrontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2022
“Who” and how? In this simple question the complexity of the interstellar chemistry is encapsulated. “Who” refers to what molecules are present in the interstellar medium (ISM) and “how” to the mechanisms that led to their formation.

The Rich Chemistry of Ionized Methanol With Sulfur Dioxide: Pathways to Prebiotic and Elusive Species in Earth's Atmosphere and Space

open access: yesChemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
The reaction between the methanol radical cation and sulfur dioxide is remarkably fast and forms several ionic and neutral products (HOSOH+, CH2OSO+, CH2OH+, CH2O, H2O, HSO2). The chemistry goes beyond simple proton or hydrogen transfer, revealing a close interaction between the two species, relevant to atmospheric and astrochemical environments where ...

Survey of CH3NH2 and its Formation Process

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We present the observational results of a precursor of glycine, methylamine (CH _3 NH _2 ), together with methanol (CH _3 OH) and methanimine (CH _2 NH) for the high-mass star-forming regions NGC 6334I, G10.47+0.03, G31.41+0.3, and W51 e1/e2 using the ...

Clathrate hydrate crystallization

open access: yesThe Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract Clathrate hydrate crystallization has been an area of interest to chemical engineers from the point of view of crystal structure, thermophysical properties, phase equilibria, kinetics, industrial applications, and environmental (climate change) implications.

The SPHEREx Target List of Ice Sources (SPLICES)

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
One of the primary objectives of the SPHEREx mission is to understand the origin of molecules such as H _2 O, CO _2 , and other volatile compounds at the early stages of planetary system formation.

Charge State Influence on Stability and Isomerism in Dehydrogenated PAHs: Insights from Anthracene, Acridine, and Phenazine

open access: yesChemPhysChem, Volume 26, Issue 6, March 15, 2025.
The ionization of anthracene, acridine, and phenazine has been explored, along with the removal of one and two hydrogen atoms, to provide valuable information for astrochemists and to understand the behavior of the resulting structures and their electronic reorganization. Abstract In this study, we systematically explored the stability and isomerism of
