New routes for PN destruction and formation in the ISM via neutral-neutral gas-phase reactions and an extended database for reactions involving phosphorus
Mateus X. Silva, Edgar Mendoza, Fábio S. L. Ferreira +5
Phosphorus plays an essential role in the chemistry of living organisms, being present in several fundamental biomolecules. The investigation of chemical reactions taking place in…
Low temperature formation of pyridine and (iso)quinoline via neutral neutral reactions
Zhenghai Yang, Chao He, Shane J. Goettl +9
Aromatic molecules represent fundamental building blocks in prebiotic chemistry and are contemplated as vital precursors to DNA and RNA nitrogen bases. However, despite the identif…
New SiS destruction and formation routes via neutral-neutral reactions and their fundamental role in interstellar clouds at low and high metallicity values
Edgar Mendoza, Samuel F. M. Costa, Miguel Carvajal +3
Among the silicon bearing species discovered in the interstellar medium, SiS and SiO stand out as key tracers due to their distinct chemistry and abundances in interstellar and cir…
Glycolaldehyde formation mediated by interstellar amorphous ice: a computational study
Mateus A. M. Paiva, Sergio Pilling, Edgar Mendoza +2
Glycolaldehyde (HOCH2CHO) is the most straightforward sugar detected in the Interstellar Medium (ISM) and participates in the formation pathways of molecules fundamental to life, r…
The Si+SO collision and an extended network of neutral-neutral reactions between silicon and sulphur bearing species
Danilo R. Campanha, Edgar Mendoza, Mateus X. Silva +4
The Si+SO reaction is investigated to verify its impact on the abundances of molecules with astrochemical interest, such as SiS, SiO, SO and others. According to our results Si…
SiS formation in the interstellar medium through Si+SH gas phase reactions
V. C. Mota, A. J. C. Varandas, E. Mendoza +2
Silicon monosulfide is an important silicon bearing molecule detected in circumstellar envelopes and star forming regions. Its formation and destruction routes are not well underst…
Accurate multireference study of Si3 electronic manifold
Cayo Emilio Monteiro Goncalves, Breno Rodrigues Lamaghere Galvao, Joao Pedro Braga
Since it has been shown that the silicon trimer has a highly multi-reference character, accurate multi-reference configuration interaction calculations are performed to elucidate i…
