Interstellar detection of the highly polar five-membered ring cyanocyclopentadiene

Michael C. McCarthy et al.

Summary: Through a combination of laboratory rotational spectroscopy and radio band surveys, 1-cyano-1,3-cyclopentadiene (1-cyano-CPD) has been detected in a starless cloud core TMC-1 at a higher abundance than expected. This finding suggests a rich aromatic chemistry in molecular clouds, which is not fully understood theoretically.

Ubiquitous aromatic carbon chemistry at the earliest stages of star formation

Andrew M. Burkhardt et al.

Summary: The widespread presence of benzonitrile in astronomical sources suggests that aromatic chemistry is common in the early stages of star formation, with abundances exceeding predictions from current models. Significant variations in the abundance of benzonitrile relative to carbon chain molecules between different sources may be related to the physical conditions and initial elemental reservoirs of the clouds.
