New Insights into Aminoacetonitrile and Its Isomers in the Interstellar Medium

The researchers outlined a chemical reaction network for AAN and its isomers by quantum chemistry, the ab initio methods. They applied the three-phase chemical code to simulate the formation and destruction of AAN and its isomers in hot ...Aminoacetonitrile (NH2CH2CN, AAN) has been proposed as a potential precursor to glycine in the interstellar medium (ISM), making it crucial prebiotic molecule in the study of life’s origins. As its special bifunctional building blocks c...
