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

To date, 241 individual molecular species, composed of 19 different elements, have been
detected in the interstellar and circumstellar medium by astronomical observations. These …

We present the fifth release of the UMIST Database for Astrochemistry (UDfA). The new
reaction network contains 6173 gas-phase reactions, involving 467 species, 47 of which are …

Context. The discovery of amino acids in meteorites fallen to Earth and the detection of
glycine, the simplest of them, in samples returned from a comet to Earth strongly suggest that …

We present an unbiased spectral line survey towards the Galactic Centre (GC) quiescent
giant molecular cloud, G+ 0.693 using the GBT and IRAM 30 telescopes. Our study …

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 …

ABSTRACT A new interstellar molecule, CH 3 NCO (methyl isocyanate), has been detected
using the 12 m telescope of the Arizona Radio Observatory (ARO). CH 3 NCO was identified …

We present the first detection of HCNS (thiofulminic acid) in space with the QUIJOTE line
survey in the direction of TMC-1. We performed a complete study of the isomers of CHNS …

Isocyanic acid (HNCO) is a well-known interstellar molecule. Evidence also exists for the
presence of two of its metastable isomers in the interstellar medium: HCNO (fulminic acid) …

The isocyanate radical (NCO) is the simplest molecule containing the backbone of the
peptide bond, C (= O)–N. This bond has a prebiotic interest since it links two amino acids to …
