Continuous-wave-cavity ring-down spectroscopy (CRDS) coupled with a pulsed uniform supersonic flow (Laval flow) are used to measure the reaction kinetics of the reaction of CN (v = 1) with 1,3- and 1,2-butadiene isomers at low temperature.

Flash vacuum pyrolysis or DC discharge are exploited for the production of unstable/reactive species. A strategy relying on the interplay of experiment and theory is presented, which ultimately leads to line catalogs for astronomical searches.

Cometary ice analogs: amorphous H₂O ice can trap other molecules up to ∼30% by number, which are outgassed during ice crystallization (130 K to 150 K). Beyond 160 K, crystalline ice sublimes with only a minor fraction (<1%) of other molecules with it.

Destruction of large, interstellar organic molecules with high proton affinities is amplified due to proton transfer from NH₄⁺. Chemical kinetic models indicate a strong destructive effect on NH₂-bearing species, including methylamine and glycine.

The UV photodesorption of neutrals from ices comprising HCOOH and HCOOCH₃ is studied. Photodesorption yields are provided from a variety of different desorbing species, highlighting the preponderant role played by photodissociation of the organics.

Laboratory rotational spectra of norbornadiene and its cyano derivatives were recorded using chirped-pulse millimetre-wave spectroscopy. These molecules were then searched for in the starless core TMC-1 using the QUIJOTE line survey.

The radiative cooling rate of cationic 1-cyanonaphthalene is determined from storage ring experiments and shown to be consistent with recurrent fluorescence. The rapid cooling helps explain the abundance of the neutral molecule in molecular clouds.

The so-called molecular ring has been mostly absent from astrochemical observations despite containing the bulk of the Milky Way’s molecular matter. A pilot survey of 11 molecular-ring giant molecular clouds with ALMA reveals new chemical stockrooms.
