Energy Landscapes in Chemical Reactions and Transport

ChemPhysChem, Volume 26, Issue 6, March 15, 2025.
Kinetics/dynamics of chemical reactivity and transport of chemical species in a solid are both determined by the energy landscape in which they take place. Discussing common grounds but also distinct differences may help in advancing the understanding in both fields.

Revisiting CN− Formation Mechanisms in Electron Collisions with Benzonitrile

ChemPhysChem, EarlyView.
This study explores negative ion formation via electron attachment, revealing CN− formation at 3.0 and 7–10 eV. Dissociation pathways are analyzed using G4(MP2) and CASPT2 calculations, highlighting the coupling between the π4* and σ* resonances critical for interstellar chemistry. Radiation‐induced processes in the aromatic cyano compound benzonitrile

A Possible Chemical Clock in High-mass Star-forming Regions: N(HC3N)/N(N2H+)?

The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2023
We conducted observations of multiple HC _3 N ( J = 10−9, 12−11, and 16−15) lines and the N _2 H ^+ ( J = 1−0) line toward a large sample of 61 ultracompact (UC) H ii regions, through the Institut de Radioastronomie Millmétrique 30 m and the Arizona ...

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

Metal‐Induced Tuning of Fullerene Reactivity: Application to Nucleophile Addition

ChemPhysChem, EarlyView.
A textbook case of how encapsulating an atom in a carbon cage can tune assembly reactivity based on partial charge distribution–exemplified by the classic nucleophilic attack. Endohedral metallofullerenes (EMFs) are a unique class of hybrid molecules formed by encapsulating metal atoms within carbon cages (fullerenes), giving rise to distinctive ...

Deep Search for Phosphine in a Prestellar Core

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
Understanding in which chemical forms phosphorus exists in star- and planet-forming regions and how phosphorus is delivered to planets are of great interest from the viewpoint of the origin of life on Earth.

Mid‐infrared Spectroscopy of Protonated Benzonitrile, 2‐Cyanonaphthalene, and 9‐Cyanoanthracene for Astrochemical Consideration

ChemPhysChem, EarlyView.
Experimental infrared absorption spectra of three protonated cyano‐substituted PAHs measured by infrared multiple photon dissociation using the free‐electron laser Free‐Electron Laser for Infrared eXperiments are studied. These spectra are compared to an emission spectrum measured by JWST, and the largest measured protonated cyano‐PAH, cyanoanthracene,

A Framework for Incorporating Binding Energy Distribution in Gas-ice Astrochemical Models

The Astrophysical Journal
One of the most serious limitations of current astrochemical models with the rate equation (RE) approach is that only a single type of binding site is considered in grain surface chemistry, although laboratory and quantum chemical studies have found that

Exploring the Effects of Reduced Gravitational Field Impacts on Convective Heat Transfer: A Comprehensive Review

Heat Transfer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This review explores the impact of gravitational instability on convective heat transfer, integrating existing research results and theoretical models. Gravitational instability is vital in promoting or hindering convective actions in different systems, such as atmospheric events, ocean currents, and industrial processes.

Organic Chemistry in the H2-bearing, CO-rich Interstellar Ice Layer at Temperatures Relevant to Dense Cloud Interiors

The Astrophysical Journal
Ice chemistry in the dense, cold interstellar medium (ISM) is probably responsible for the formation of interstellar complex organic molecules (COMs). Recent laboratory experiments performed at T ∼ 4 K have shown that irradiation of CO:N _2 ice samples ...
