Abstract:The emergence of life remains one of the most intriguing scientific questions, and understanding the chemical processes that led to it is essential. Recent discoveries of C3H2NO isomers in the interstellar medium have motivated further exploration of this molecular formula. Here, we use density functional theory to explore the potential energy surface of C3H2NO isomers, including acyclic and cyclic structures, and identify twelve low-lying isomers. We then investigate bimolecular reaction with HCN and H2CO usi… Show more
