Since we intend to review experimental and theoretical studies of physicochemical
processes occurring on cosmic dust grains in very cold regions in space, we start with a brief …

H‐atom tunneling reactions play important roles in astrochemistry, but an understanding of
these reactions is still in its infancy. The unique properties associated with quantum solid …

Quantum-state control of reactive systems has enabled microscopic probes of underlying
interaction potentials and the alteration of reaction rates using quantum statistics. However …

The quantum solid para-hydrogen (p-H2) has emerged as a new host for matrix isolation
experiments. Among several unique characteristics, the diminished cage effect enables the …

para-Hydrogen (p-H2) serves as a new host in matrix-isolation experiments for an
investigation of species of astrochemical interest. Protonated and mono-hydrogenated …

The ultraviolet photochemistry of the amino acids glycine, leucine, proline, and serine in
their neutral forms was investigated using parahydrogen matrix-isolation spectroscopy …

This review article presents an overview of recent infrared spectroscopic studies of chemical
species trapped in solid parahydrogen at liquid helium temperatures. An overriding theme …

UV photodissociation of α-alanine was studied by parahydrogen matrix isolation infrared
spectroscopy. The temporal behavior of Fourier transform infrared spectra revealed that UV …

The origin of homochirality in biological organisms remains an open question. Some
suggest that its origin might be extraterrestrial, specifically due to the exposure of chiral …

We report FTIR studies of the 193 nm photodecomposition of N-methylformamide (NMF)
isolated in solid parahydrogen (pH 2) matrices at 1.9 K. By studying the detailed …
