Chemical models of adenine precursors cyanamide and carbodiimide in the interstellar medium
Xia Zhang, Donghui Quan, Runxia Li +4
Cyanamide (NH2CN) and its isomer, carbodiimide (HNCNH), may form adenine in the interstellar medium (ISM) via a series of reactions. Therefore, they are considered key prebiotic mo…
