Atom Addition Formation of Thionylimide (HNSO) on Interstellar Dust Grains: Chemical routes requiring oxygen and nitrogen atom surface diffusion

Juan Carlos del Valle, Miguel Sanz-Novo, Johannes Kästner +4

We investigate the formation of the recently detected HNSO molecule using quantum chemical calculations on ices and astrochemical models in tandem. Our results indicate that HNSO i…

Instanton rate constant calculations using interpolated potential energy surfaces in non-redundant, rotationally and translationally invariant coordinates

Sean R. McConnell, Johannes Kästner

A trivial flaw in the utilization of artificial neural networks in interpolating chemical potential energy surfaces (PES) whose descriptors are Cartesian coordinates is their depen…

The Case of HCO Isomers, Revisited: Solving the Mystery of the Missing Propadienone

Christopher N. Shingledecker, Sonia Álvarez-Barcia, Viktoria H. Korn +1

To date, two isomers of HCO have been detected, namely, propynal (HCCCHO) and cylclopropenone (c-HCO). A third, propadienone (CHCCO), has thus far eluded observ…
