    The Starting Materials In: Meteorites and the Early Solar System II S. Messenger Johnson Space Center S. Sandford Ames Research Center D. Brownlee University of Washington Combined information from observations of interstellar clouds and star forming regions and studies of primitive solar system materials give a first order picture of the starting materials for the solar system’s construction. At the earliest stages, the presolar dust cloud was comprised of stardust, refractory organic matter, ices, and simple gas phase molecules. The nature of the starting materials changed dramatically together with the evolving solar system. Increasing temperatures and densities in the disk drove molecular evolution to increasingly complex organic matter. High temperature processes in the inner nebula erased most traces of presolar materials, and some fraction of this material is likely to have been transported to the outermost, quiescent portions of the disk. Interplanetary dust particles thought to be samples of Kuiper Belt objects probably contain the least altered materials, but also contain significant amounts of solar system materials processed at high temperatures. These processed materials may have been transported from the inner, warmer portions of the disk early in the active accretion phase. 1. Introduction A principal constraint on the formation of the Solar System was the population of starting materials available for its construction. Information on what these starting materials may have been is largely derived from two approaches, namely (i) the examination of other nascent stellar systems and the dense cloud environments in which they form, and (ii) the study of minimally altered examples of these starting materials that have survived in ancient Solar System materials.

  • The Observed Chemical Structure of L1544? ?? S
    Astronomy & Astrophysics manuscript no. Maps_L1544 c ESO 2017 July 20, 2017 The observed chemical structure of L1544? ?? S. Spezzano, P. Caselli, L. Bizzocchi, B. M. Giuliano, and V. Lattanzi Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics, Giessenbachstrasse 1, 85748 Garching, Germany July 20, 2017 ABSTRACT Context. Prior to star formation, pre-stellar cores accumulate matter towards the centre. As a consequence, their central density increases while the temperature decreases. Understanding the evolution of the chemistry and physics in this early phase is crucial to study the processes governing the formation of a star. Aims. We aim at studying the chemical differentiation of a prototypical pre-stellar core, L1544, by detailed molecular maps. In contrast with single pointing observations, we performed a deep study on the dependencies of chemistry on physical and external conditions. Methods. We present the emission maps of 39 different molecular transitions belonging to 22 different molecules in the central 6.25 arcmin2 of L1544. We classified our sample in five families, depending on the location of their emission peaks within the core. Furthermore, to systematically study the correlations among different molecules, we have performed the principal component analysis (PCA) on the integrated emission maps. The PCA allows us to reduce the amount of variables in our dataset. Finally, we compare the maps of the first three principal components with the H2 column density map, and the Tdust map of the core. Results. The results of our qualitative analysis is the classification of the molecules in our dataset in the following groups: (i) the c-C3H2 family (carbon chain molecules like C3H and CCS), (ii) the dust peak family (nitrogen-bearing species + like N2H ), (iii) the methanol peak family (oxygen-bearing molecules like methanol, SO and SO2), (iv) the HNCO peak family (HNCO, propyne and its deuterated isotopologues).

Analyses of 40 years have shown the organic content of these meteorites to be materials as diverse as kerogen-like macromolecules and simpler soluble compounds such as amino acids and polyols. Many meteoritic molecules have identical counterpart in the biosphere and, in a primitive group of meteorites, represent the majority of their carbon. Most of the compounds in meteorites have isotopic compositions that date their formation to presolar environments and reveal a long and active cosmochemical evolution of the biogenic elements. Whether this evolution resumed on the Earth to foster biogenesis after exogenous deliveryof meteoritic and cometary materials is not known, yet, the selective abundance of biomolecule precur- sors evident in some cosmic environments and the unique L-asymmetry of some meteoritic amino acids are suggestive of their possible contribution to terrestrial molecular evolution.

  • Understanding the Bonding of Second Period Diatomic Molecules Spdf Vs MCAS
    Understanding the Bonding of Second Period Diatomic Molecules Spdf vs MCAS By Joel M Williams (text and images © 2013) The html version with updates and higher resolution images is at the author’s website (click here) Abstract The current spdf and MO modeling of chemical molecules are well-established, but do so by continuing to assume that non-classical physics is operating. The MCAS electron orbital model is an alternate particulate model based on classical physics. This paper describes its application to the diatomic molecules of the second period of the periodic table. In doing so, it addresses their molecular electrostatics, bond strengths, and electron affinities. Particular attention is given to the anomalies of the carbon diatom. Questions are raised about the sensibleness of the spdf model’s spatial ability to contain two electrons on an axis between diatoms and its ability to form π-bonds from parallel p-orbitals located over the nuclei of each atom. Nitrogen, carbon monoxide, oxygen, and fluorine all have the same inter-nuclei bonding: all “triple bonds” of varying strength caused by different numbers of anti-bonding electrons. The spdf model was devised for single atoms by physicists and mathematicians. Kowtowing to them, chemists produce hybrid orbitals to explain how atoms could actually form molecules. Drawing these hybrids and meshing them on paper might look great, but, constrained to measured interatomic physical dimensions and electrostatic interactions, bonding based on the spdf-hybrids (sp, sp2, sp3) is illogical. To have even one electron occupy the “bond” region between the nuclei of diatomic molecules, at the expense of reduced coverage elsewhere, does not make sense for stable molecules.

  • Exhaustive Product Analysis of Three Benzene Discharges by Microwave Spectroscopy Michael C
    pubs.acs.org/JPCA Article Exhaustive Product Analysis of Three Benzene Discharges by Microwave Spectroscopy Michael C. McCarthy,* Kin Long Kelvin Lee, P. Brandon Carroll, Jessica P. Porterfield, P. Bryan Changala, James H. Thorpe, and John F. Stanton Cite This: J. Phys. Chem. A 2020, 124, 5170−5181 Read Online ACCESS Metrics & More Article Recommendations *sı Supporting Information ABSTRACT: Using chirped and cavity microwave spectroscopies, automated double resonance, new high-speed fitting and deep learning algorithms, and large databases of computed structures, the discharge products of benzene alone, or in combination with molecular oxygen or nitrogen, have been exhaustively characterized between 6.5 and 26 GHz. In total, more than 3300 spectral features were observed; 89% of these, accounting for 97% of the total intensity, have now been assigned to 152 distinct chemical species and 60 of their variants (i.e., isotopic species and vibrationally excited states). Roughly 50 of the products are entirely new or poorly characterized at high resolution, including many heavier by mass than the precursor benzene. These findings provide direct evidence for a rich architecture of two- and three-dimensional carbon and indicate that benzene growth, particularly the formation of ring−chain molecules, occurs facilely under our experimental conditions. The present analysis also illustrates the utility of microwave spectroscopy as a precision tool for complex mixture analysis, irrespective of whether the rotational spectrum of a product species is known a priori or not. From this large quantity of data, for example, it is possible to determine with confidence the relative abundances of different product masses, but more importantly the relative abundances of different isomers with the same mass.

  • Polycarbodiimides As Classification-Free and Easy to Use Crosslinkers for Water-Based Coatings
    White paper Polycarbodiimides as classification-free and easy to use crosslinkers for water-based coatings By Dr. A.J. Derksen, Stahl International bv, The Netherlands Polycarbodiimides (CDl) selectively react with carboxylic acid (–COOH) groups in polymer chains. This type of crosslinking reaction results in a classic 3D polymer-crosslinker network. Compared to polyisocyanates, polycarbodiimides are much less sensitive to presence of water and able to achieve long pot lives. Due to the high reactivity, curing with CDI type crosslinkers can be done under room temperature or typical oven conditions used for drying of applied coatings. In addition to standard CDI crosslinker chemistry, on offer is also a range of dual reactivity CDI crosslinkers. A second type of reactive groups is attached to the polycarbodiimide in this range. Upon curing, this crosslinker not only reacts with the –COOH groups in the polymer chains, but also two of the reactive groups attached to the separate CDI molecules can couple to form an even denser network structure. Building further on the success of these polycarbodiimide crosslinkers, VOC-free polycarbodiimides, in aqueous delivery form, were introduced, which give extreme long pot lives. 1. Introduction when dealing with flexible substrates. A high level of crosslinking Crosslinking is widely practiced in nearly all the coating may be acceptable for hard coatings on rigid substrates, but industries in order to improve the performance of the coating. low levels may be best for soft coatings on extensible, flexible These improvements include wear, abrasion and chemical substrates such as rubber and leather. An important crosslinking resistances and toughness1. The improved performance originates system for aqueous resins involves the use of water-dispersible from the formation of a continuous three-dimensional network, oligomeric polyisocyanates.

INTRODUCTION Although a considerable number of precipitants have been pro- posed for the determination of aluminium, direct precipitation of aluminium hydroxide by means of ammonium hydroxide, fol- lowed by ignition to oxide, is most commonly used, especially if no separation from iron is desired, in which latter case special methods must be employed. While the general principles involved in this determination are extremely simple, it has long been recog- nized that certain precautions in the precipitation, washing, and ignition are necessary if accurate results are to be obtained. While, however, most of these details have been studied and dis- cussed by numerous authors, it is noteworthy that few publica- tions or textbooks have taken account of all the factors. In the 515 ; 516 Bulletin of the Bureau of Standards [Voi.i3 present paper it seems desirable, therefore, to assemble the various recommendations and to consider their basis and their accuracy.

Isotope Separation in Discharge Plasmas of Molecular Gases EZOUBTCHENKO, Alexandre N.t, AKATSUKA Hiroshi and SUZUKI Masaaki Research Laboratory for Nuclear Reactors, Tokyo Institute of Technology, Tokyo 152-8550, Japan (Received 25 December 1997) Abstract We review the theoretical principles and the experimental methods of isotope separation achieved through the use of discharge plasmas of molecular gases. Isotope separation has been accomplished in various plasma chemical reactions. It is experimentally and theoretically shown that a state of non- equilibrium in the plasmas, especially in the vibrational distribution functions, is essential for the isotope redistribution in the reagents and products. Examples of the reactions, together with the isotope separ- ation factors known up to the present time, are shown to separate isotopic species of carbon, nitrogen and oxygen molecules in the plasma phase, generated by glow discharge and microwave discharge.

Turner,[a, b] Sankhabrata Chandra,[a, b] Ryan C. Fortenberry,*[c] and Ralf I. Kaiser*[a, b] Ices of acetylene (C2H2) and ammonia (NH3) were irradiated with 9.80 eV, and 10.49 eV were utilized to discriminate isomers energetic electrons to simulate interstellar ices processed by based on their known ionization energies. Results indicate the galactic cosmic rays in order to investigate the formation of formation of ethynamine (HCCNH2) and 2H-azirine (c-H2CCHN) C2H3N isomers. Supported by quantum chemical calculations, in the irradiated C2H2:NH3 ices, and the energetics of their experiments detected product molecules as they sublime from formation mechanisms are discussed. These findings suggest the ices using photoionization reflectron time-of-flight mass that these two isomers can form in interstellar ices and, upon spectrometry (PI-ReTOF-MS).

Rimmer and Ch Helling School of Physics and Astronomy, University of St Andrews, St Andrews, KY16 9SS, UK; [email protected] Received 2015 June 3; accepted 2015 October 22; published 2016 May 23 ABSTRACT There are many open questions about prebiotic chemistry in both planetary and exoplanetary environments. The increasing number of known exoplanets and other ultra-cool, substellar objects has propelled the desire to detect life andprebiotic chemistry outside the solar system. We present an ion–neutral chemical network constructed from scratch, STAND2015, that treats hydrogen, nitrogen, carbon, and oxygen chemistry accurately within a temperature range between 100 and 30,000 K. Formation pathways for glycine and other organic molecules are included. The network is complete up to H6C2N2O3. STAND2015 is successfully tested against atmospheric chemistry models for HD 209458b, Jupiter, and the present-day Earth using a simple one- dimensionalphotochemistry/diffusion code. Our results for the early Earth agree with those of Kasting for CO2,H2, CO, and O2, but do not agree for water and atomic oxygen. We use the network to simulate an experiment where varied chemical initial conditions are irradiated by UV light. The result from our simulation is that more glycine is produced when more ammonia and methane is present.
