Study on the photochemical reaction of HCN and its polymer products relating to primary chemical evolution.

H Mizutani, H Mikuni, M Takahasi, H Noda.   

Abstract

The photochemical reaction of HCN at 184.9 nm is studied in the gas phase. (CN)2, H2, CH4, NH3, N2H4, C2H6, and CH3NH2 are identified as gas phase products, and a reaction mechanism is proposed. HCN polymers are also obtained as solid reaction products, and their structure is investigated by Infrared Spectorscopy, UV-Visible Spectroscopy, Mass Spectrometry, and Amino Acid Analysis. The process and nature of the formation of the polymers are discussed.
