ABSTRACT Formation routes, involving closed shell, radical, and charged species for urea, have been studied using computational methods to probe their feasibility in the interstellar medium. All reactions involving closed shell species were found to have prohibitive barriers. The radical–radical reaction possesses a barrier of only 4 kJ mol−1, which could be surmountable. A charged species based route was also investigated. A barrier of only 8 kJ mol−1 was found in that case, when a partial water ice shell was included.

The reaction mechanisms of PAH formation from phenyl radical (C6H5) to naphthalene via C2H3 (C2H3-Path) and C4H4 (C4H4-Path) were investigated by the G3(MP2, CC) method. The hydrogen abstraction, ring closure, cis–trans isomerization, and disproportionation reactions were considered, as well as their occurred sequence. The results showed that H-abstraction reactions occurred more easily than H-dissociation reactions. The cis–trans conversion reactions in sub-routes of C2H3-Path and C4H4-Path provided the largest barriers of 51, 53, and 36 kcal/mol along their routes, which illustrated that the cis–trans isomerization was energetically costly in the PAH formation process. The entrance barriers of C2H2-Path, C2H3-Path, and C4H4-Path are 6, 8, and 3 kcal/mol, respectively, which indicates that it is easier to add C4H4 to C6H5 compared with adding C2H2 to C2H3. C2H3 additions were highly exothermic with reaction energies greater than 110 kcal/mol, and compared with C2H2 additions, C2H3 additions were irreversible. However, C2H2-Path, C2H3-Path and C4H4-Path involved energy barriers of 20, 32, and 36 kcal/mol, respectively. Considering the high temperature in combustion and the approximate concentrations of C2H3 and C4H4, all three of these pathways could lead to naphthalene in some combustion flames.

Aqueous solutions of a 1 weight-per cent poly (ethylene oxide) (PEO) were degassed under vacuum, transferred to a parallel plate viscometer under a nitrogen gas blanket, and exposed to Co60 gamma radiation. The Co60 source was rated at 4000 curies, and the dose ratewas 3.8x105 rads/hr. The poly (ethylene oxide) employed in the irradiations had an initial viscosity average molecular weight of 2.1 x 106.The solutions were gelled by a free radical reaction with dosages ranging from 5x104 rads to 4.8x106 rads.
