Chemistry in Dense Molecular Clouds: Theory and Observational Constraints [PDF]

, 1988
For the most part, gas phase models of the chemistry of dense molecular clouds predict the abundances of simple species rather well. However, for larger molecules and even for small systems rich in carbon these models often fail spectacularly.

Electronic spectroscopy of medium-sized polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons: Implications for the carriers of the 2175 {\AA} UV bump

, 2010
Mixtures of polycylic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) have been produced by means of laser pyrolysis. The main fraction of the extracted PAHs were primarily medium-sized, up to a maximum size of 38 carbon atoms per molecule.

Regarding the Detection of Interstellar C4 and C5 Molecules

The Astrophysical Journal
Analysis of very high signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) spectra of reddened stars allowed us to determine an upper limit (UL) of the column density N (C _4 ).

C5H9N Isomers: Pointers to Possible Branched Chain Interstellar Molecules

, 2017
The astronomical observation of isopropyl cyanide further stresses the link between the chemical composition of the ISM and molecular composition of the meteorites in which there is a dominance of branched chain amino acids as compared to the straight ...

Formation of All Three C2H4O Isomers—Ethylene Oxide (c-C2H4O), Acetaldehyde (CH3CHO), and Vinyl Alcohol (CH2CHOH)—in Ethanol-containing Interstellar Analog Ices

The Astrophysical Journal
Oxygen-containing complex organic molecules are key precursors to biorelevant compounds fundamental for the origins of life. However, the untangling of their interstellar formation mechanisms has just scratched the surface, especially for oxygen ...

Interstellar grain chemistry and organic molecules [PDF]

The detection of prominant infrared absorption bands at 3250, 2170, 2138, 1670 and 1470 cm(-1) (3.08, 4.61, 4.677, 5.99 and 6.80 micron m) associated with molecular clouds show that mixed molecular (icy) grain mantles are an important component of the ...

Studies of interstellar vibrationally-excited molecules [PDF]

Several molecules thus far have been detected in the ISM in vibrationally-excited states, including H2, SiO, HC3N, and CH3CN. In order for vibrational-excitation to occur, these species must be present in unusually hot and dense gas and/or where strong ...
