CHNO-CHNOS molecular network: (a) molecular network of 1669 molecular formulas (orange nodes = CHNO compounds, from Ar7+ -irradiated ice + red nodes = CHNOS compounds, from S7+-over-irradiated residue) illustrates the potential transformation of CHNO compounds toward CHNOS ones. Gray edges represent ΔCH2, ΔH2, ΔO, ΔH2O, ΔNH and ΔCO2, while ΔS transformations are shown in blue; (b) potential CHNOS precursors are significantly enriched in carbon number and double bond equivalent (DBE) compared to CHNO compounds that are not part of the CHNO-CHNOS molecular network. For reference, characteristics of PAHs (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, dashed line) are indicated; (c) 29 potential direct CHNOS precursors (connected by ΔS transformations) show high N and C counts while having moderate numbers of O atoms per molecular formula (#N-#O-#C plot with bubble size scaled for 4 ≤ DBE ≤ 11).
Current usage metrics show cumulative count of Article Views (full-text article views including HTML views, PDF and ePub downloads, according to the available data) and Abstracts Views on Vision4Press platform.
Data correspond to usage on the plateform after 2015. The current usage metrics is available 48-96 hours after online publication and is updated daily on week days.
