Abstract:Atomic carbon in its ground electronic state, C( 3 P), is expected to be present at high abundances during the evolution of dense molecular clouds. Consequently, its reactions with other interstellar species could have a strong influence on the chemical composition of these regions. Here, we report the results of an investigation of the reaction between C( 3 P) and dimethyl ether, CH 3 OCH 3 , which was recently detected in dark cloud TMC-1. Experiments were performed to study the kinetics of this reaction usi… Show more
