Context. Many organic molecules have been observed in the interstellar medium thanks to advances in radioastronomy, and very recently the presence of urea was also suggested. While those molecules were observed, it is not clear what the mechanisms responsible to their formation are. In fact, if gas-phase reactions are responsible, they should occur through barrierless mechanisms (or with very low barriers). In the past, mechanisms for the formation of different organic molecules were studied, providing only in a few cases energetic conditions favorable to a synthesis at very low temperature. A particularly intriguing class of such molecules are those containing one N–C–O peptide bond, which could be a building block for the formation of biological molecules. Urea is a particular case because two nitrogen atoms are linked to the C–O moiety. Thus, motivated also by the recent tentative observation of urea, we have considered the synthetic pathways responsible to its formation. Aims. We have studied the possibility of forming urea in the gas phase via different kinds of bi-molecular reactions: ion-molecule, neutral, and radical. In particular we have focused on the activation energy of these reactions in order to find possible reactants that could be responsible for to barrierless (or very low energy) pathways. Methods. We have used very accurate, highly correlated quantum chemistry calculations to locate and characterize the reaction pathways in terms of minima and transition states connecting reactants to products. Results. Most of the reactions considered have an activation energy that is too high; but the ion-molecule reaction between NH2OHNH2OH2+ and formamide is not too high. These reactants could be responsible not only for the formation of urea but also of isocyanic acid, which is an organic molecule also observed in the interstellar medium.

The past attempts of Arrhenius plots of carbon nanotube (CNT) yield (or CNT length) to obtain the overall activation energy for CNT formation under changing reaction temperature conditions have created substantial errors. Here we propose an inverse method to accurately account for the effect of temperature on gas-phase reactions and species composition. The overall activation energy of soot formation for a xylene-based CVD reactor was calculated and successfully compared with the measured gas-phase concentration data. Our proposed inverse method is expected to help improve the performance of CVD reactors and optimize its design.

ABSTRACTGas phase reactions between trimethylgallium (TMG) and ammonia were studied at high temperatures, characteristic to MOCVD of GaN reactors, by means of insitu mass spectroscopy in a flow tube reactor. It is shown, that a very fast adduct formation followed by elimination of methane occurs. The decomposition of TMG and the adduct - derived compounds are both first order and have similar apparent activation energy. The pre-exponential factor of the adduct decomposition is smaller, and hence is responsible for the higher full decomposition temperature of the adduct relative to that of TMG.

ABSTRACT The potential energy surface for the Si + SH and Si + SH2 reactions is explored using the highly accurate explicit correlation multireference configuration interaction method. For atomic silicon colliding with SH, SiS + H is predicted to be the main reaction channel with no activation energy. The reaction Si + SH2 → SiS + H2 is found to be largely thermodynamically favourable, but likely to be slow, due to its spin forbidden nature. Several details on possible mechanisms are evaluated, and implications for astrochemical models are discussed. Among other results, we show that SiS is stable towards collisions with H and H2, and that the HSiS molecule will quickly be converted to SiS in collisons with atomic hydrogen.
