New Hydrolysis Rate Constants Reveal Longest Cyanide Persistence in Cool, Neutral Waters
Sai Shruthi Murali, Skyla B. White, Paul B. Rimmer
Hydrogen cyanide (HCN) is a key molecule in prebiotic chemistry, and its availability in water is limited by hydrolysis. In this work, we estimate the hydrolysis rates of \ce{HCN},…

Hydrocarbon complexity and photochemical shielding of prebiotic feedstock molecules in exoplanet atmospheres
Marrick Braam, Ellery Gopaoco, Shang-Min Tsai +4
The potential of prebiotic chemistry to propagate on an exoplanet fundamentally depends on whether the atmospheric conditions can facilitate the production of prebiotic feedstock m…

Shedding a Light on the Kinetics of the Carboxysulfitic Scenario
S. B. White, P. B. Rimmer, Z. Liu
One way in which we can attempt to relate chemical pathways to geochemical environments is by studying the kinetics of a given sequence of reactions and identifying the conditions…
