Interstellar Chemistry: Integrating Observations, Laboratory Spectroscopy, and Modeling to Unify Gas-Phase and Grain-Surface Pathways to Complex Organics

To the point

Interstellar chemistry is a collaborative field where gas‑phase and dust‑grain reactions create molecules identified by precise spectroscopy and theory, helping explain how prebiotic species could form in space, with contributions from A. Dalgarno and J. Tennyson.
