    International Journal of Biology and Biomedicine Nigel Aylward http://www.iaras.org/iaras/journals/ijbb A Prebiotic Surface Catalysed Photochemically Activated Synthesis of L-Cystine Nigel Aylward School of Chemistry and Molecular Biosciences University of Queensland, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia [email protected] Abstract: - Alkynes such as ethyne form weak charge-transfer, η2 -alkynyl complexes with surface catalysts such as Mg.porphin in which the alkynyl group is positively charged and the porphin has a negative charge. The enthalpy change is -0.018 h. Rate limiting reaction with ammonia leads to addition and ring closure to form a bound Mg.aziridinyl.porphin complex. Addition of disulphide anion to the complex allows the formation of Mg.1,N-2-disulfanyl ethanimin-1yl.porphin. When the imine is bound to a Mg.porphin complex in which carbon monoxide has been oriented by exciting radiation an aziridine-2one complex is formed hydrolysable to the amino acid 2-amino-3-disulfanyl propanoic acid-. This may then act as a nucleophilic reactant with another Mg.aziridinyl.porphin complex, leading to ring opening and an imine containing an S-S bond. When this process is repeated that the imine is bound to a Mg.porphin complex in which carbon monoxide has been oriented by exciting radiation an aziridine-2one complex is formed hydrolysable to the amino acid L-cystine. The reactions have been shown to be feasible from the overall enthalpy changes in the ZKE approximation at the HF and MP2 /6-31G* level. Key-Words: Ethyne, Aziridine complexes, Mg.porphin, Disulfide, L-cystine. 1 Introduction from the gases, acetylene, carbon monoxide, L-cystine, [R-(R*,R*)]-3,3′-dithiobis[2-amino hydrogen, disulfide anion, water and the catalyst propanoic acid], is a non-essential amino acid magnesium porphin.

  • A Prebiotic Surface Catalysed Synthesis of Alkyl Imine Precursors to the Aminoacids, Alanine, Serine and Threonine
    WSEAS TRANSACTIONS on BIOLOGY and BIOMEDICINE Nigel Aylward A Prebiotic Surface Catalysed Synthesis of Alkyl Imine Precursors to the Aminoacids, Alanine, Serine and Threonine NIGEL AYLWARD School of Physical and Chemical Sciences Queensland University of Technology George St., Brisbane, Queensland 4000 AUSTRALIA [email protected] http://www.qut.edu.au Abstract: - Alkynes such as ethyne and propyne form weak charge-transfer, η2 -alkynyl complexes with surface catalysts such as Mg.porphin in which the alkynyl group is positively charged and the porphin has a negative charge. The enthalpy changes are -0.018 and - 0.002 h, respectively. Addition of ammonia to the complexes allows the formation of Mg.2- amino ethenyl.porphin and Mg.2-amino propenyl.porphin with small enthalpy changes. and subsequent cyclic formation to Mg.1H aziridin-2yl.porphin and Mg. 2-methyl 1H aziridin- 3yl.porphin complexes. The former may undergo a prototropic ring opening to form the imino precursor to the amino-acid alanine. Both complexes undergo ring opening with hydroxide anion to give the imine precursors to the amino-acids, serine and threonine. where the activation energies and enthalpy changes are,respectively, 0.072 h and -0.159h, and 0.072 h and -0.167 h. This mechanism constitutes another method for the formation of reactive, and unstable, imines that could facilitate the formation of aziridine-2ones, which have been predicated as important in amino acid synthesis. The reactions have been shown to be feasible from the overall enthalpy changes in the ZKE approximation at the HF and MP2 /6-31G* level.

  • The Role of State-Of-The-Art Quantum-Chemical Calculations in Astrochemistry: Formation Route and Spectroscopy of Ethanimine As a Paradigmatic Case

Received: 31 May 2020; Accepted: 18 June 2020; Published: 22 June 2020 Abstract: The gas-phase formation and spectroscopic characteristics of ethanimine have been re-investigated as a paradigmatic case illustrating the accuracy of state-of-the-art quantum-chemical (QC) methodologies in the field of astrochemistry. According to our computations, the reaction between the amidogen, NH, and ethyl, C2H5, radicals is very fast, close to the gas-kinetics limit. Although the main reaction channel under conditions typical of the interstellar medium leads to methanimine and the methyl radical, the predicted amount of the two E,Z stereoisomers of ethanimine is around 10%. State-of-the-art QC and kinetic models lead to a [E-CH3CHNH]/[Z-CH3CHNH] ratio of ca. 1.4, slightly higher than the previous computations, but still far from the value determined from astronomical observations (ca. 3). An accurate computational characterization of the molecular structure, energetics, and spectroscopic properties of the E and Z isomers of ethanimine combined with millimeter-wave measurements up to 300 GHz, allows for predicting the rotational spectrum of both isomers up to 500 GHz, thus opening the way toward new astronomical observations.

    Molecular Spectroscopy Anthony Remijan 1 2014 ANASAC Meeting Molecule hunting returns to centimeter wavelengths with the Green Bank Telescope The history of spectral line observations/molecular spectroscopy in Green Bank is long and storied with a wide range of successes – Can’t possibly cover everything! WARNING – this is going to be a very biased presentation – lot of mention of new molecule detections and line surveys. The GBT does SO MUCH MORE than that to advance molecular spectroscopy! You can make the argument that modern radio astrochemistry started with the 140ft in Green Bank. 2 2014The ANASAC GBT @ Meeting 20! Interstellar Formaldehyde – Where it all began… A detection in 1969 forever changed the way that astronomers and chemists viewed the universe 3 2014The ANASACASAC GBT @ Meeting 20! Interstellar Formaldehyde – Where it all began… Formaldehyde absorption taken towards SgrB2(N- LMH) with the GBT as part of the GBT PRIMOS Large molecule survey. Velocities are relative to the 64 km/s systemic source velocity. This line was detected in absorption against numerous continuum sources and eventually the H13CO line was detected. There was a rush to detect new, especially large organic molecules and it seemed that cm wave observations was NOT the place to be. 4 2014The ANASACASAC GBT @ Meeting 20! Interstellar Glycine Searches… • Very early searches for interstellar glycine started in the late 70s in the cm – no lines were detected. • As the search intensifies into the late 80s and 90s, the spectroscopy gets better and better in the lab and searches are conducted on the NRAO 12-m and IRAM 30-m telescopes… 5 2014The ANASACASAC GBT @ Meeting 20! Interstellar Glycine Searches… • Results are always the same… lot of blank spectra or worse yet, lots of blended lines… • This lead to a paper in 1997 on using mm-arrays to search for large molecules.

Here we report on a study, based on the multi-scale shock-compression technique combined with ab initio molecular dynamics approaches, where the shock-waves-driven chemistry of mutually colliding isocyanic acid (HNCO) containing icy grains has been simulated by first-principles. At the shock wave velocity threshold triggering the chemical transformation of the sample (7 km s−1), formamide is the first synthesized species representing thus the spring-board for the further complexification of the system. In addition, upon increasing the shock impact velocity, formamide is formed in progressively larger amounts.

  • A Plausible Route to a Prebiotic Synthesis of L-Histidine
    WSEAS TRANSACTIONS on BIOLOGY and BIOMEDICINE N. Aylward A Plausible Route to a Prebiotic Synthesis of L-Histidine N. Aylward , Queensland University of Technology, Brisbane,Australia [email protected] Abstract: - Possible reactions in a mildly reducing prebiotic atmosphere of ammonia and hydrogen cyanide produce cyanamide, its isomer carbodiimide, and formamidine. Alkynes such as diacetylene may form very weak van der Waals complexes with metal derivatives of porphin that acts as a potent photochemical catalyst. The reactants carbodiimide and the diacetylene adduct with magnesium porphin may react spontaneously to form an iminazole structure. Subsequent reaction with ammonia leads to an aziridine derivative. Prototropic shifts lead to an opening of the ring and finally an imine bound to the catalyst. Carbon monoxide gas may also bind to porphin with either the metal ion or in the form of an aziridine-2one complex. If this has been determined by the magnetic field of the exciting ultraviolet radiation to have a particular orientation and is present as a high energy compound, photochemical excitation may easily lead to the migration of the carbon monoxide from the surface of the porphin ring to the imine group of the iminazole adduct. Subsequent hydrolysis gives the L-histidine which forms the zwitterion. The reactions have been shown to be feasible from the overall enthalpy changes in the ZKE approximation at the HF and MP2 /631G* level, and with acceptable activation energies. Key-Words: -.L-histidine, diacetylene, carbodiimide, formamidine, cyanamide. 1 Introduction the gases, hydrogen cyanide, diacetylene, ammonia, L-histidine is an essential amino acid [1], found in the carbon monoxide, hydrogen, and the catalyst hydrolysis products of proteins [2] which occurs magnesium porphin.

Phys., 2014, 16, 25221 Daniel P. Zaleski, Susanna L. Stephens and Nicholas R. Walker* Broadband rotational spectroscopy provides a new method by which plasma chemistry can be explored. Molecules and complexes form when precursors within an expanding gas sample are allowed to interact with plasma generated by an electrical discharge or laser vaporisation of a solid. It is thus possible to selectively generate specific molecules or complexes for study through a careful choice of appropriate precursors. It is also possible to survey an extensive range of the products formed under a given set of initial conditions in an approach termed ‘‘broadband reaction screening’’. Broadband rotational Received 12th September 2014, spectroscopy provides an opportunity to simultaneously monitor the transitions of many different Accepted 15th October 2014 chemical products and this allows broader details of reaction pathways to be inferred.

Received: 13 July 2020; Accepted: 10 August 2020; Published: 12 August 2020 Abstract: Ammonia (NH3)-assisted purification of deposits fabricated by focused electron beam-induced deposition (FEBID) has recently been proven successful for the removal of halide contaminations. Herein, we demonstrate the impact of combined NH3 and electron processing on FEBID deposits containing hydrocarbon contaminations that stem from anionic cyclopentadienyl-type ligands. For this purpose, we performed FEBID using bis(ethylcyclopentadienyl)ruthenium(II) as the precursor and subjected the resulting deposits to NH3 and electron processing, both in an environmental scanning electron microscope (ESEM) and in a surface science study under ultrahigh vacuum (UHV) conditions. The results provide evidence that nitrogen from NH3 is incorporated into the carbon content of the deposits which results in a covalent nitride material. This approach opens a perspective to combine the promising properties of carbon nitrides with respect to photocatalysis or nanosensing with the unique 3D nanoprinting capabilities of FEBID, enabling access to a novel class of tailored nanodevices.

  • The Formation of Urea in Space I. Ion-Molecule, Neutral-Neutral, and Radical Gas-Phase Reactions

Ion-molecule, neutral-neutral, and radical gas-phase reactions Flavio Siro Brigiano1, Yannick Jeanvoine1, Antonio Largo2, and Riccardo Spezia1,? 1 LAMBE, Univ Evry, CNRS, CEA, Université Paris-Saclay, 91025, Evry, France e-mail: [email protected] 2 Computational Chemistry Group, Departamento de Quimica Fisica, Facultad de Ciencias, Universidad de Valladolid, Valladolid, Spain Received XX; accepted YY ABSTRACT Context. Many organic molecules have been observed in the interstellar medium thanks to advances in radioastronomy, and very recently the presence of urea was also suggested. While those molecules were observed, it is not clear what the mechanisms respon- sible to their formation are. In fact, if gas-phase reactions are responsible, they should occur through barrierless mechanisms (or with very low barriers). In the past, mechanisms for the formation of different organic molecules were studied, providing only in a few cases energetic conditions favorable to a synthesis at very low temperature. A particularly intriguing class of such molecules are those containing one N–C–O peptide bond, which could be a building block for the formation of biological molecules. Urea is a particular case because two nitrogen atoms are linked to the C–O moiety. Thus, motivated also by the recent tentative observation of urea, we have considered the synthetic pathways responsible to its formation. Aims. We have studied the possibility of forming urea in the gas phase via different kinds of bi-molecular reactions: ion-molecule, neutral, and radical. In particular we have focused on the activation energy of these reactions in order to find possible reactants that could be responsible for to barrierless (or very low energy) pathways.
