A Potential New Dimension of Astrophysical Aromatic Functionalization: Phosphaethynyl (CP) Derivatives
Reace H. J. Willis, Vincent J. Esposito, Thomas H. Speak +2
Quantum chemical computations outline a thermodynamically viable, low-temperature, gas-phase formation pathway for phosphaethynyl cyclopropenylidene (-CHCP), resulting from…
Automated Assignment and Prediction of Molecules in Astronomical Line Surveys Using Machine-Learning-Based Chemical Embeddings
Zachary T. P. Fried, Ryan A. Loomis, Jes K. Jørgensen +6
Modern radio telescopes generate vast amounts of observational data, offering valuable insights into the molecular composition of interstellar sources. Identifying the molecules wi…
Infrared Spectroscopy and Photochemistry of Aromatic Nitriles in Para-Hydrogen Matrices
Sam McGrath, Vincent J. Esposito, Linshan Zeng +6
Motivated by recent detections of several aromatic nitriles in Taurus Molecular Cloud-1, we report laboratory and theoretical investigations of the vibrational spectroscopy and pho…
Detection of the Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon Phenalene (CH) in the Very Low Luminosity Object (VeLLO) MC27/L1521F
Gabi Wenzel, Thomas H. Speak, Ci Xue +12
To date, 14 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) ranging in size from two to seven (including five- and six-membered) carbon rings have been detected in the starless dense core…
The impact of hydrogen atom tunneling on aromatic chemistry in TMC-1
Reace H. J. Willis, Thomas H. Speak, Alex N. Byrne +2
Hydrogen atom tunneling likely plays a substantial role in the gas-phase chemistry of astrochemical environments. To determine the potential effect that it has on the chemical mode…
