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

Selmi 2, 40126 Bologna, Italy * Correspondence: [email protected] (C.P.); [email protected] (V.B.) 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.

In recent years, organic molecules of increasing complexity have been found toward the prolific Galactic center source Sagittarius B2. Aims. We wish to explore the degree of complexity that the interstellar chemistry can reach in star-forming regions. Methods. We carried out a complete line survey of the hot cores Sgr B2(N) and (M) with the IRAM 30 m telescope in the 3 mm range, plus partial surveys at 2 and 1.3 mm. We analyzed this spectral survey in the local thermodynamical equilibrium approximation. We modeled the emission of all known molecules simultaneously, which allows us to search for less abundant, more complex molecules. We compared the derived column densities with the predictions of a coupled gas-phase and grain-surface chemical code. Results. We report the first detection in space of ethyl formate (C2H5OCHO) and n-propyl cyanide (C3H7CN) toward Sgr B2(N).

  • In the Milky Way
    chandra explores “downtown” in the milky way The word galaxy comes from the Greek word meaning “milky circle” or, more familiarly, “milky way.” The white band of light across the night sky that we call the Milky Way was poetically described long before Galileo. But with his small telescope, what he discovered was a multitude of individual stars, “so numerous as almost to surpass belief.” Today we know that the Milky Way is our home galaxy—a vast rotating spiral of gas, dust, and hundreds of billions of stars. The Sun and its planetary system formed in the outer reaches of the Milky Way about 4.5 billion years ago. In the center of the Galaxy is the bar-shaped Galactic bulge which harbors a supermassive black hole with a mass equal to that of about 3 million suns. Surrounding the central bulge is a relatively thin disk of stars about 2,000 light years thick and roughly 100,000 light years across. Giant clouds of dust and gas in the disk and bulge absorb starlight and give the Galaxy its patchy appearance. The Milky Way is home to generations of stars past. Many stars become small, dense white dwarfs after a bloated ‘red giant’ phase. Other, more massive stars explode as supernovas, enriching the Galaxy with heavy elements manufactured in their cores, and leaving behind either neutron stars or black holes. The Galaxy’s bright stellar disk is embedded in a faint disk of old stars which is about 3 times thicker than the thin disk. Surrounding the thick Galactic disk is an extremely faint halo that contains the oldest stars in the Galaxy.

The saturated n-propyl cyanide was recently detected in Sagittarius B2(N). The next larger unbranched alkyl cyanide is n-butyl cyanide. Aims. We provide accurate rest frequency predictions beyond the millimeter wave range to search for this molecule in the Galactic center source Sagittarius B2(N) and facilitate its detection in space. Methods. We investigated the laboratory rotational spectrum of n-butyl cyanide between 75 GHz and 348 GHz. We searched for emission lines produced by the molecule in our sensitive IRAM 30 m molecular line survey of Sagittarius B2(N). Results. We identified more than one thousand rotational transitions in the laboratory for each of the three conformers for which limited data had been obtained previously in a molecular beam microwave study. The quantum number range was greatly extended to J ≈ 120 or more and Ka > 35, resulting in accurate spectroscopic parameters and accurate rest frequency calculations up to about 500 GHz for strong to moderately weak transitions of the two lower energy conformers.

Physikalisches Institut, Universität zu Köln, Zülpicher Str. 77, 50937 Köln, Germany Received 3 July 2017 / Accepted 15 August 2017 ABSTRACT Context. Up to now, mostly relatively simple molecules have been detected in interstellar diffuse molecular clouds in our galaxy, but more complex species have been reported in the diffuse/translucent medium of a z = 0:89 spiral galaxy. Aims. We aim at searching for complex organic molecules (COMs) in diffuse molecular clouds along the line of sight to Sgr B2(N), taking advantage of the high sensitivity and angular resolution of the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA). Methods. We use data acquired as part of the EMoCA survey performed with ALMA. To analyse the absorption features of the molecules detected towards the ultracompact H ii region K4 in Sgr B2(N), we calculate synthetic spectra for these molecules and fit their column densities, line widths, centroid velocities, and excitation temperatures. Results. We report the detection of CH3OH, CH3CN, CH3CHO, HC3N, and NH2CHO in Galactic center (GC) diffuse clouds and CH3OH and CH3CN in a diffuse cloud in the Scutum arm.

  • 1 from Molecular Clouds to the Origin of Life
    1 From Molecular Clouds to the Origin of Life Pascale Ehrenfreund and Karl M. Menten In our Milky Way and in external galaxies, the space between the stars is filled with an interstellar medium (ISM) consisting of gas and dust. The ISM can be divided in vari- ous different components with very different physical parameters, ranging from a very hot (106 K), dilute (<10-2 particles cm-3) component heated by supernova explosions, which fills more than half of its volume, to molecular clouds with temperatures from 8 10 to 100 K and molecular hydrogen (H2) densities from a few hundred to 10 parti- cles cm-3, which make up less than 1% of the ISM's volume. Approximately 1% of its mass is contained in microscopic (micron-sized) interstellar dust. While accounting for only a small fraction (~1%) of the Galaxy's mass, the ISM is nevertheless an important part of the Galactic ecosystem. Gravitational collapse of dense interstellar clouds leads to the formation of new stars, which produce heavier elements in their interiors by nucleosynthesis. The main reaction in stellar interiors is the nuclear fusion of H into He. In a later stage of stellar evolution C, N and O are formed. Further nucleosynthesis occurs in massive stars leading to elements as heavy as iron. At the end of their lifetime which is mainly determined by their initial mass, stars return material to the interstellar environment by mass outflows, forming ex- panding shells and envelopes, as well as by violent explosions. Thus, the ISM repre- sents an environment, in which atoms, molecules, and solid matter undergo strong evolution and recycling.

D. Levine, The Fritz Haber Research Center, Jerusalem, Israel, and approved May 20, 2016 (received for review March 17, 2016) Complex organic molecules such as sugars and amides are COMs, implying that key production pathways to COMs are still ubiquitous in star- and planet-forming regions, but their formation elusive. The crucial drawback of existing models is the assump- mechanisms have remained largely elusive until now. Here we tion of an ice mantle of which only the first few monolayers show in a combined experimental, computational, and astrochem- participate in an active chemistry via diffusion-limited thermal ical modeling study that interstellar aldehydes and enols like surface reactions (11). This conjecture limits the validity of acetaldehyde (CH3CHO) and vinyl alcohol (C2H3OH) act as key trac- preceding gas–grain reaction networks because laboratory stud- ers of a cosmic-ray-driven nonequilibrium chemistry leading to ies provided compelling evidence that an interaction of ionizing complex organics even deep within low-temperature interstellar radiation in the form of cosmic rays and their secondary electrons ices at 10 K.

Physikalisches Institut, Universität zu Köln, Zülpicher Str. 77, 50937 Köln, Germany June 24, 2020 ABSTRACT Context. Glycolamide is a glycine isomer and also one of the simplest derivatives of acetamide (e.g., one hydrogen atom is replaced with a hydroxyl group), which is a known interstellar molecule. Aims. In this context, the aim of our work is to provide direct experimental frequencies of the ground vibrational state of glycolamide in the centimeter-, millimeter- and submillimeter- wavelength regions in order to enable its identification in the interstellar medium. Methods. We employed a battery of state-of-the-art rotational spectroscopic techniques in the frequency and time domain to measure the frequencies of glycolamide. We used the spectral line survey named Exploring Molecular Complexity with ALMA (EMoCA), which was performed toward the star forming region Sgr B2(N) with ALMA to search for glycolamide in space.

Venot (eds) MODELING THE COMPLEX CHEMISTRY OF HOT CORES IN SAGITTARIUS B2-NORTH: INFLUENCE OF ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS M. Bonfand1, A. Belloche1, R. T. Garrod3 2, K. M. Menten1, E. R. Willis3, G. St´ephan3 and H. S. P. M¨uller4 Abstract. Sagittarius B2(N) is host to several hot cores (HCs) in the early stage of star formation, where complex organic molecules (COMs) are detected in the gas phase. Given its exposure to the extreme envi- ronment of the Galactic center region, Sgr B2(N) is an excellent target to study the impact of environmental factors on the production of COMs. We combined the analysis of 3mm ALMA data and chemical models to characterize and compare the physical structure and chemical composition of Sgr B2(N)'s HCs. We investi- gated how the cosmic-ray ionization rate (CRIR) and the minimum dust temperature during the prestellar phase (Tmin) influence the production of COMs. We used COM abundances to constrain the CRIR and Tmin by comparing the results of chemical models with the observations. Chemical models with Tmin=15 K and a CRIR of 7×10−16 s−1 best reproduce the abundances observed toward Sgr B2(N)'s HCs.

Located at a projected distance of ∼100 pc from Sgr A∗, Sgr B2 is exposed to the extreme environment of the Galactic center (GC) region.

Abstract Propargyl alcohol (HC2CH2OH, PA) has yet to be observed in the interstellar medium (ISM) although one of its stable isomers, propenal (CH2CHCHO), has already been detected in Sagittarius B2(N) with the 100-meter Green Bank Telescope in the frequency range 18 − 26 GHz. In this paper, we investigate the formation of propargyl alcohol along with one of its deuterated isotopomers, HC2CH2OD (OD-PA), in a dense molecular cloud. Various pathways for the formation of PA in the gas and on ice mantles surrounding dust particles are discussed. We use a large gas-grain chemical network to study the chemical evolution of PA and its deuterated isotopomer. Our results suggest that gaseous HC2CH2OH can most likely be detected in hot cores or in collections of hot cores such as the star-forming region Sgr B2(N). A simple LTE (Local thermodynamic equilibrium) radiative transfer model is employed to check the possibility of detecting PA and OD-PA in the millimeter-wave regime. In addition, we have carried out quantum chemical calculations to compute the vibrational transition frequencies and intensities of these species in the infrared for perhaps future use in studies with the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST).

  • A Theoretical Approach to the Formation of Glycine in the Interstellar Gas Phase
    A theoretical approach to the formation of glycine in the interstellar gas phase von Dipl.-Chem. Christine Krumrey Von der Fakult¨at II (Mathematik und Naturwissenschaften) der Technischen Universit¨at Berlin zur Erlangung des akademischen Grades Doktor der Naturwissenschaft (Dr. rer. nat.) genehmigte Dissertation Berlin 2001 D 83 Promotionsausschuß: Vorsitzender: Prof. Dr. A. Hese Berichter: Prof. Dr. E. Sedlmayr Prof. Dr. G. von Oppen Tag der mundlichen¨ Prufung:¨ 14.12.2001 Zusammenfassung Glycin ist die einfachste der essentiellen Aminos¨auren und repr¨asentiert da- mit eines der grundlegenden Bausteinmolekule¨ des Lebens. Wegen seiner zentralen biologischen Bedeutung wurde nach der ersten Labormessung des Millimeterwellenspektrums in der Gasphase 1978 eine ausgedehnte Durch- musterung des interstellaren Raumes gestartet. In den Sternenstehungsge- bieten des Orion und des Sagittarius B2 wurden einige spektrale Rotati- onsuberg¨ ¨ange beobachtet, die von zwei verschiedenen Konformationen des Glycins herruhren¨ k¨onnten. Aufgrund seiner biologischen Signifikanz ist die zweifelsfreie Beobachtung sowie die Aufkl¨arung seiner Bildung im interstella- ren Raum von immenser Bedeutung; nicht nur fur¨ die interstellare Chemie im allgemeinen, sondern vor allem im Hinblick auf die Frage nach dem Ursprung des Lebens auf der Erde. Diese Arbeit repr¨asentiert, verglichen mit den zahlreichen experimentellen und theoretischen Untersuchungen seit uber¨ 25 Jahren, einen alternativen Ansatz zum Problem der Molekulbildung¨ in der interstellaren Gasphase. Die- ser wird mit quantenchemischen Methoden am Beispiel der Bildung von Gly- cin durchgefuhrt.¨ Dabei wurden zwei m¨ogliche Zerfallsprozesse retrospektiv als Bildungspfade zugrunde gelegt und die involvierten molekularen Spezies, Reaktanden, vier verschiedene Konformationen des Produktmolekuls,¨ sowie zwei Kandidaten m¨oglicher Ubergangszust¨ ¨ande im Hinblick auf die Kalkula- tion der Intrinsischen Reaktionskoordinate optimiert.
