Contribution of primary formation and destruction reactions of SiS at t =1 × 103 yr obtained from the model using the full chemical network, i.e., KIDA reactions plus the new ones studied in this work.

Reaction Contribution [%]
Formation of SiS
Si + HS → H + SiS 30.6
S + SiC → C + SiS 26.5
Si + SO → O + SiS 23.8
HSiS+ + e → H + SiS 18.3
Si + H2S → H2 + SiS 0.70

Destruction of SiS
SiS + O → SiO + S 95.9
SiS + C → Si + CS 4.00
SiS + S+ → S + SiS+ 0.10

Notes. The model considers a molecular cloud with T =10 K, n(H2) = 2 × 104 cm−3 and a cosmic-ray ionisation rate of 1.3 × 10−17 s−1 (see Fig. 5a).
