Cryogenic solid para-hydrogen (p-H2) exhibits pronounced quantum effects, enabling
unique experiments that are typically not possible in noble-gas matrices. The diminished …

Several cycloreversion reactions of the retro-Diels–Alder type were computationally
assessed to understand their quantum tunneling (QT) reactivity. N2, CO, and other leaving …

Glycolaldehyde [HOCH2C (O) H, GA], the primitive sugar-like molecule detected in the
interstellar medium (ISM), is a potential precursor for the synthesis of complex sugars …

TA has been isolated in low-temperature para-H2 matrices and it has been exposed to H
atoms. In accordance with previous experimental results, TA exclusively exists in its more …

Activating dihydrogen, H2, is a challenging endeavor typically achieved using transition
metal centers. Pure main‐group compounds capable of this are rare and have emerged in …

The α-hydroxyethyl radical (CH 3· CHOH, 2 A) is a key intermediate in ethanol biochemistry,
combustion, atmospheric chemistry, radiation chemistry, and astrochemistry. Experimental …

Simple unhindered aldimines tend to hydrolyze or oligomerize and are therefore
spectroscopically not well characterized. Herein we report the formation and spectroscopic …

While fulminic acid (HCNO) is a well-known interstellar molecule, its partially hydrogenated
form, formaldoxime (H2CNOH), has not been detected yet in the interstellar medium (ISM). A …

Context. The formation mechanism of interstellar formamide (NH 2 CHO), a key prebiotic
precursor, is currently a matter of hot debate within the astrochemistry community, with both …

The astrochemically relevant reactions of [H, C, N, S] isomers were studied both theoretically
and experimentally. The energetics and barriers of H-atom-addition and H-atom-abstraction …
