Detection of Acetamide (ch3conh2): the Largest Interstellar Molecule with a Peptide Bond
Acetamide (CH3CONH2) has been detected in emission and absorption toward the star-forming region Sagittarius B2(N) with the 100 m Green Bank Telescope (GBT) by means of four A-species and four E-species rotational transitions. All transitions have energy levels less than 10 K. The Sgr B2(N) cloud is known to have a cold halo with clumps of gas at several different velocities. Absorption feature...
متن کاملChiral molecule formation in interstellar ice analogs: alpha-aminoethanol NH 2 CH(CH 3 )OH
Aims. Aminoalcohol molecules such as alpha-aminoethanol NH2CH(CH3)OH may be aminoacid precursors. We attempt to characterize and detect this kind of molecules which is important to establish a possible link between interstellar molecules and life as we know it on Earth. Methods. We use Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and mass spectrometry to study the formation of alphaaminoethan...
متن کاملThe CH 2 CN − molecule : Carrier of the λ 8037 diffuse interstellar band ?
The hypothesis that the cyanomethyl anion CH2CN is responsible for the relatively narrow diffuse interstellar band (DIB) at 8037.8± 0.15 Å is examined with reference to new observational data. The 00 absorption band arising from the B1 − X̃ 1A′ transition from the electronic ground state to the first dipole-bound state of the anion is calculated for a rotational temperature of 2.7 K using litera...
متن کاملDiscovery of the interstellar chiral molecule propylene oxide (CH₃CHCH₂O).
Life on Earth relies on chiral molecules-that is, species not superimposable on their mirror images. This manifests itself in the selection of a single molecular handedness, or homochirality, across the biosphere. We present the astronomical detection of a chiral molecule, propylene oxide (CH3CHCH2O), in absorption toward the Galactic center. Propylene oxide is detected in the gas phase in a co...
متن کاملCrystal structure of AI ( tBu ) 3 ( NH 2 CH 2 CH 2 Ph ) : A molecular " slinky "
The molecular structure of AI(tBu)3(NH2CH2CHzPh) is determined by the crystal packing of the phenyl rings and the pseudo spherical Al(tBu)3 units, and may be viewed as a layered structure consisting of double sheets of the phenyl rings and the Al(tBu)3 units. The A1-N-C-C linkage shows severe disorder as a result of its flexibility. The structure of Al(tBu)3 (NH2CH2CH2Ph) can be likened to a mo...
