Flowing afterglow measurements are reported which provide rate constants and product identifications at 298 ± 2 K for the gas-phase reactions of OH− with CH3OH, C2H5OH, CH3OCH3, CH2O, CH3CHO, CH3COCH3, CH2CO, HCOOH, HCOOCH3, CH2=C=CH2, CH3—C≡CH, and C6H5CH3. The main channels observed were proton transfer and solvation of the OH−. Hydration with one molecule of H2O was observed either to reduce the rate slightly and lead to products which are the hydrated analogues of the "nude" reaction, or to stop the reaction completely, k ≤ 10−12 cm3 molecule−1 s−1. The reaction of OH−•H2O with CH3—C≡CH showed an uncertain intermediate behaviour.

The chemistry of an 667 Mo interstellar cloud was studied using 142 reactions for 40 species during the contraction under self gravity in two steps. At first the contraction is allowed without gas phase reactions untill certain optical depth is reached. Secondly, at this optical depth the chemical reactions are started for sufficient cycles in a time dependant scheme till only very small additionally changes in the abundances occur. The so obtained, relative abundances and coulmn densities for different species represent a continous function of the optical depths. The values arround τ=6.3 represent the observations for H2, H2+, H3+, OH, OH+, CH, CH+, CH2, CH2+, CH3+, H2O and H3O+. The region of τ between 1 and 5 i.e. of particle density between 4 102–6 103 is the preferable formation place for the majority of molecules.

AbstractA variety of molecular species up to complex polyatomic molecules/radicals have been identified in many extraterrestrial gaseous environments, including interstellar clouds, cometary comae and planetary atmospheres. Amongst the identified molecules/radicals, a large percentage are organic in nature and encompass also prebiotic molecules. Different types of microscopic processes are believed to be involved in their formation, including surface processes, ion- and radical- molecule reactions. A thorough characterization of such a complex chemistry relies on a multi-disciplinary approach, where the observations are complemented by accurate chemical modeling. Unfortunately, a literature survey reveals that only a small percentage of the elementary reactions considered in the available models have been characterized in laboratory experiments. In this contribution, a brief overview will be given of recent experimental techniques that have allowed us to reach a better description of neutral-neutral gas-phase reactions, which might be responsible for the formation of simple prebiotic molecules.

Based on analyses by a variety of investigators, it has become understood that gas phase reactions can account for much of the chemistry observed in dense interstellar clouds. However, quantitative calculations of molecular abundances utilizing gas phase reactions are beset with difficulties. These difficulties include uncertainties in needed rate coefficients at the low temperatures of interstellar clouds, uncertainties in the dynamics of physical processes such as cloud collapse and clumping, and uncertainties in our understanding of gasgrain interactions. New work in some of these areas and its impact on modelling is emphasized.
