This paper is a detailed critical review of the production processes and reactions of N, N+,
N+ 2, N++, and N++ 2 of relevance to Titan's atmosphere. The review includes neutral, ion …

Over the past ten years or so, great advances in our understanding of the dynamics of
elementary (bimolecular) polyatomic reactions in the gas-phase have occurred. This has …

The detection of the amino acid glycine and its amine precursor methylamine on the comet
67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko by the Rosetta mission provides strong evidence for a cosmic …

The photochemistry of N 2 and CH 4 in the atmosphere of Titan leads to a very rich
chemistry which is not well understood. The aim of our study is to improve our understanding …

Many aspects of the nitrogen fixation process by photochemistry in the Titan atmosphere are
not fully understood. The recent Cassini mission revealed organic aerosol formation in the …

The formation of complex organic molecules in a reactor filled with gaseous mixtures
possibly reproducing the primitive terrestrial atmosphere and ocean demonstrated more …

Context. The chemical pathways linking the small organic molecules commonly observed in
molecular clouds to the large, complex, polycyclic species long suspected of being carriers …

New insights into the formation of interstellar cyanomethanimine, a species of great
relevance in prebiotic chemistry, are provided by electronic structure and kinetic calculations …

The reaction between cyano radicals (CN, X2Σ+) and cyanoethene (C2H3CN) has been
investigated by a combined approach coupling crossed molecular beam (CMB) experiments …

The reaction of electronically excited nitrogen atoms, N (2D), with vinyl cyanide, CH2CHCN,
has been investigated under single-collision conditions by the crossed molecular beam …
