Molecular precursors of the RNA-world in space: new nitriles in the G+0.693-0.027 molecular cloud
Víctor M. Rivilla, Izaskun Jiménez-Serra, Jesus Martín-Pintado +10
Nitriles play a key role as molecular precursors in prebiotic experiments based on the RNA-world scenario for the origin of life. These chemical compounds could have been partially…
The trans/cis ratio of formic, HCOOH, and thioformic, HC(O)SH, acids in the Interstellar Medium
J. García de la Concepción, L. Colzi, I. Jiménez-Serra +6
We studied theoretically the cis-trans isomerization reactions of two astrophysically relevant acids, formic acid (HCOOH) and thioformic acid (HC(O)SH), where the latter has recent…
Diastereoselective Formation of trans-HC(O)SH Through Hydrogenation of OCS on Interstellar Dust Grains
Germán Molpeceres, Juan García de la Concepción, Izaskun Jiménez Serra
With the presence of evermore complex S-bearing molecules being detected lately, studies on their chemical formation routes need to keep up the pace to rationalize observations, su…
Formation of phosphorus monoxide (PO) in the interstellar medium: insights from quantum-chemical and kinetic calculations
Juan García de la Concepción, Cristina Puzzarini, Vincenzo Barone +2
In recent years, phosphorus monoxide (PO) -- an important molecule for prebiotic chemistry -- has been detected in star-forming regions and in the comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko.…
