To date, 204 individual molecular species, comprised of 16 different elements, have been
detected in the interstellar and circumstellar medium by astronomical observations. These …

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and polycyclic aromatic nitrogen heterocycles are thought
to be widespread throughout the universe, because these classes of molecules are probably …

To date, 241 individual molecular species, composed of 19 different elements, have been

In this paper, we present preliminary results illustrating the effect of cosmic rays on solid-
phase chemistry in models of both TMC-1 and several sources with physical conditions …

Recent progress in observational astronomy and astrophysics has stimulated intensive
laboratory studies aimed at elucidating the mechanisms of evolution of molecular matter in …

A wide variety of molecules have recently been detected in the Horsehead nebula
photodissociation region (PDR) suggesting that:(i) gas-phase and grain chemistries should …

The collisions between high-energy ions and solids can result in significant physical and
chemical changes to the material. These effects are potentially important for better …

Context. CH 3 CN (methyl cyanide) is one of the simplest and most abundant interstellar
complex organic molecules (iCOMs), and has been detected in young solar analogues …

Fluorinated graphitic layers with good mechanical and chemical stability, polar C–F bonds,
and tunable bandgap are attractive for a variety of applications. In this work, we investigated …
