Abstract
Organic compounds are a major component of dust in molecular clouds, alongside silicates and water ice, due to the high abundances of elements that make up these compounds in the Galaxy. The initial molecular inventory of the Solar System, inherited from the molecular cloud, was modified and new complex molecules were formed in the protoplanetary disk and planetesimals. Because astronomical observations mainly target gas, while cosmochemical evidence deals with solid phases, it is crucial to link discrepant knowledge on organic species through state-of-the-art modeling. This chapter reviews the latest understanding of surface reactions on inter-stellar dusts, gas–dust reactions in the protoplanetary disk, and alteration processes on planetesimals in the early Solar System.
期刊介绍:
ACS Applied Bio Materials is an interdisciplinary journal publishing original research covering all aspects of biomaterials and biointerfaces including and beyond the traditional biosensing, biomedical and therapeutic applications.
The journal is devoted to reports of new and original experimental and theoretical research of an applied nature that integrates knowledge in the areas of materials, engineering, physics, bioscience, and chemistry into important bio applications. The journal is specifically interested in work that addresses the relationship between structure and function and assesses the stability and degradation of materials under relevant environmental and biological conditions.
