Повний текст джерелаMineral surfaces are thought to be of importance to prebiotic chemistry due to their catalytic properties, which include a strong electric field at the interface. In this work the electric field at the surface of MgO and at the interface of MgO and water is studied through ab-initio molecular dynamics. The spontaneous electric field from the surface is found to be local and intense, on the order of V/Å, even when completely covered with water. A model prebiotic reaction is then studied on the model MgO surface : carbon monoxide and water yielding formic acid. Using metadynamics, reaction pathways were found with no a priori knowledge of the transition states, and umbrella sampling was then used to compute free energy landscapes to about 5 kcal/mol accuracy. The presence of the mineral surface was found to stabilise formic acid by at least 15 kcal/mol compared to the bulk case. The reaction was also studied in solution with an applied electric field of 0.3 V/Å, in order to estimate to impact of the surface electric field on the free energy landscape. The field is also found to stabilise the product, and formic acid is found to have a preferred orientation in the direction of both the applied electric field and the surface electric field. This work shows that near surface conditions (without direct adsorption) can significantly alter the free energy landscapes of chemical reactions, in a way which could be of importance for prebiotic chemistry

Повний текст джерелаOne of the major goals of modern astrophysics is to understand the formation of our Solar System. Since low-mass protostars are suns in the making, the study of these objects and their environment provides one of the best ways to investigate the Sun's formation process and to peek in the past history of our Solar System. In my thesis, I focused on the chemistry occuring in Class 0 sources (the earliest known phases in the evolutionary scenario of low-mass protostars) by studying complex organic molecules in their envelopes. Such molecules have been discovered in IRAS16293--2422, the prototype of Class 0 sources, proving the existence of hot corinos, the inner regions of the protostellar envelope where the icy grain mantles sublimate. Some of these molecules have also been observed in comets in our Solar System, raising the question of whether (and if so, how) the chemistry of Class 0 objects affects the chemical composition of the protoplanetary disk material from which comets and other planetary bodies form. However, it is first necessary to determine whether hot corinos are ubiquitous in low-mass protostars or if IRAS16293-2422 is an exception. This was the first goal of my thesis. The approach consisted mainly in observing three Class 0 sources to search for complex organic molecules. I thereby discovered and/or confirmed three more hot corinos. The second goal was then to constrain the size of emission of complex molecules. For this, I carried out interferometric observations of the two brightest hot corinos: this emission is compact (<150 AU) with, in one of the sources, an extended component originating from the cooler, less dense outer envelope. The third goal consisted in confronting the possible formation pathways with the results of my observations to try and discriminate whether complex organic molecules form via gas-phase or grain-surface reactions. Although it was not possible to arrive at a definite answer, my data seem to favor the later formation route. Moreover, the comparison of hot corinos and their high-mass analogs, the hot cores (showing that complex molecules are relatively more abundant in hot corinos), also support grain-surface synthesis of these molecules

Повний текст джерелаThe origin of life on Earth is one of the most challenging questions in science. In the last 60 years, considerable progress has been made in understanding how simple molecules relevant to life can be generated spontaneously or are known to arrive to Earth from space. Additionally, analysis of the evolution history of nucleic acids, which are the repository of genetic information, points to a now extinct, universal common ancestor for all life on Earth. The studies of the origin of life offer many clues towards a common origin, perhaps not just on Earth but somewhere else in the solar system. However due to the length of time that the Earth has harbored life, the oldest clues of the first organisms are mostly gone. It is unlikely to find exactly what this first organism was like. Nevertheless, in the last few years, synthetic biology has made remarkable progress at modifying biomolecules, particularly nucleic acids. It is possible that soon we will be able to construct and understand a minimalistic system in which molecules can copy themselves in a protocell. The study of such systems could shed light into the origin of the first organisms.

Повний текст джерелаIt is now widely believed that prebiotic molecules were delivered to the early Earth by planetesimals and their associated interplanetary dust particles. Yet the formation pathways for these molecules are not clear. Amino acids and sugars have been found in carbonaceous chondrites, but only much simpler species have been detected in the interstellar medium (ISM). Prebiotic organics could have formed in the ISM and been directly incorporated into planetesimals, or simpler species could have formed in the ISM and then been incorporated into planetesimals, undergone further processing, and been delivered to Earth. Limits on interstellar chemistry must therefore be established through observational astronomy before potential prebiotic formation pathways can be assessed. These observations require laboratory spectroscopic investigation of the species of interest.
This thesis is an interdisciplinary study involving laboratory rotational spectroscopy and astronomical observations of several key prebiotic molecules. The laboratory work has focused on obtaining the rotational spectra of the simplest three-carbon ketose sugar, 1,3-dihydroxyacetone, and its structural isomers methyl glycolate and dimethyl carbonate, as well as aminoethanol, the predicted interstellar precursor to alanine. The pure rotational spectral analysis of the low-lying torsional states of the simplest alpha-hydroxy aldehyde, glycolaldehyde, has also been completed. The original Balle-Flygare Fourier transform microwave spectrometer was used to obtain the microwave spectra, while both the Jet Propulsion Laboratory and Caltech direct absorption flow cell spectrometers were used for additional direct absorption millimeter and submillimeter studies.
The results of these laboratory experiments were used to guide observational searches with the Caltech Submillimeter Observatory, the Owens Valley Millimeter Array, and the Green Bank Telescope toward the hot core sources Sgr B2(N-LMH), Orion Hot Core/Compact Ridge, and W51 e1/e2. Evidence has been found for the presence of dihydroxyacetone and methyl glycolate in Sgr B2(N-LMH).
These results have important implications for interstellar grain surface chemistry, and proposed additions to grain surface chemical models are also discussed. Reactions involving surface radicals and molecules containing carbonyl groups can efficiently compete with the simple grain surface reactions included in previous models. Such aldehyde abstraction reactions should be considered as pathways to complex carbonyl-containing species on interstellar grain surfaces.

This thesis consists of five chapters. In chapters 1 and 2, we studied the stability of some metal-containing noble-gas anions. In chapter 3, we studied the stability of transition metal-containing noble-gas anions. In chapter 4, we studied the prebiotic synthesis of glyceraldehyde and dihydroacetone by formose reaction in neutral environment. In addition to the gas-phase study, we also model the solvation effects with two different approaches, micro-solvation and polarizable continuum model (PCM). In chapter 5, we studied the stability of various OSO isomers and their isomerization and dissociation reactions. In Chapter 1, we calculated the geometry and stability of a series of noble-gas anions X−NgO ( X = OBO, OAlO, NCO, OCN, NC, OAg, and etc) by ab initio methods . The anions can induce theformation of the NgO bond by polarization. We found that the stability of X−NgO depended strongly on the electron affinity of the neutral species X. Usually the X with higher electron affinity can form more stable X−NgO anions. The calculated results showed that the OMO−NgO ( Ng=Ar , Kr, Xe ; M=Al , B) anions which has high dissociation energy may be experimentally detectable in low-temperature conditions. In Chapter 2, we have calculated the molecular geometries, bond energies, and charge distribution of the metal-containing noble-gas anions OMO−(NgO )n ( Ng= Ar, Kr, and Xe ; M=Al , B;n =1~2 ). The geometries of these anions were found to be highly symmetric. The calculated results revealed that the OMO−( NgO )n ( Ng= Ar, Kr, and Xe ; M=Al , B;n =1~2 ) anions may be experimentally detectable at low-temperature. We also calculated the OArOMOKr−, OArOMOXe−, and OKrOMOXe− (M=Al , B) anions which has high dissociation energy may be experimentally detectable in low-temperature conditions. In Chapter 3, we have calculated the molecular geometries and the stability of the transition metal-containing noble-gas anions OMOO−ArO (M = Ti, V, Co, Cu). The stable noble-gas anions previously studied were all in singlet states. It is expected that the stable noble-gas anions could exist in different spin states by including 3d transition metal elements. The calculated results showed that the stable anion OVOO−ArO was in singlet state and the stable anion OCoOO−ArO was in the triplet state. We also used various DFT methods to calculate electron affinities of OMOO− (M = Ti, V, Co, Cu) and compared them to experimental results. In Chapter 4, we studied the the prebiotic synthesis of glyceraldehyde and dihydroacetone, which are precursors of ribose, by formose reaction. The possible reaction pathways of synthesis for glyceraldehyde and dihydroacetone from formaldehyde were calculated in the gas phase, in bulk solvent, and with microsolvation by H2O or NH3 molecules. We found that if a reaction step involves a proton transfer, the energy barrier could be significantly reduced by approximately 20 ~ 30 kcal/mol with microsolvation by H2O or NH3. The polarized continuum solvation model (PCM) could sometimes further lower the barrier by 3~5 kcal/mol. So the formose reaction can occurs more readily in comparison with the reactions in the gas phase. In chapter 5, we studied the molecules OSO and SOO which are isoelectronic to the ozone. The high level methods, CASPT2, MRCISD+Q, were used to calculate the relative energies of the cyclic and the open forms of OSO. The first singlet excited state (1A" state) and the ground state (1A' state) potential energy surfaces were calculated. The result showed that when the ground state open-OSO was excited by radiation, it would become open-SOO through the cross section of 1A' and 1A" potential energy surfaces because of the near-degeneracy of ground and excited transition states. However, the reaction open-OSO → cyclic-SOO would not likely to occur through the intersection of the potential energy surfaces. The dissociation energies of reactions open-OSO → SO + O and S + O2 are 149.6 kcal/mol and 145.2 kcal/mol.

This thesis consists of five chapters. In chapter 1, we developed and tested several new efficient DFT methods. In chapter 2, we performed high-level theoretical study on a new type of noble-gas (Ng) containing anions FNgCC. In chapter 3, we studied the mechanisms and reaction paths of the prebiotic strecker synthesis of alanine catalyzed by water and chiral molecules in the neutral environment. In chapter 4, we studied the kinetic stability of the cyclic-O3, cyclic-S3, and cyclic-Se3. In the last chapter, we cooperated with the experimental scientists and carried out the theoretical investigation on the excited state proton transfer of 1,8-dihydroxy-2-naphthaldehyde (DHNA). In chapter 1, we developed and tested several new efficient multi-coefficient density functional theory (MC-DFT) methods based on the DSD-BLYP functional and by including SCS-MP2 and MP4 correction energies on the performance of thermochemical kinetics against the database of 211 accurate energies. When the MP4 correlation energies were included, the new method gave an astonishingly small MUEs of 0.72 kcal/mol and cost only 78% of the DSD-BLYP/aug-cc- pVTZ method (with MUE = 1.36 kcal/mol). In chapter 2, we made high-level theoretical study on a new type of noble-gas (Ng) containing anions FNgCC-. The results showed that FNgCC- (Ng = Ar, Kr, Xe) are kinetically stable anions in the gas phase with the three-body dissociation energies of 17-64 kcal/mol and two body-dissociation (FNgCC- -> FCC- + Ng) barriers of 21-43 kcal/mol; moreover, the S-T gaps of all the FNgCC- were over 81 kcal/mol. These results suggested that the future experimental identification of the FNgCC- anions is expected under cryogenic conditions. In chapter 3, the mechanisms and reaction paths of the prebiotic strecker synthesis of alanine catalyzed by water and chiral molecules in the neutral environment have been studied. In this three-step reaction, the energy barriers were calculated to be over 33 kcal/mol in the uncatalyzed condition; the reaction catalyzed by water, however, could significantly reduce the barriers by 17-27 kcal/mol. When the reactions were catalyzed by the chiral molecules (R-form or S-form) CH3CHCl(OH) and CH3CH2CHCl(OH), the differences of barriers between two chiral products (D- and L-Alanine) were calculated to be 0.6 and 0.9 kcal/mol; of the rates in 300 K, 2 and 4.5 times. This result suggested that the chiral catalysts in prebiotic conditions could produce different numbers of the two different chiral (D- and L-) amino acids, which was might be a plausible reason for the dominance of L-amino acids in nature nowadays. In chapter 4, high-level electronic structure calculations have been carried out on the kinetic stability of the cyclic-O3, cyclic-S3, and cyclic-Se3. In this study, the rate constant and tunneling effect for the isomerization reaction of cyclic-S3 was also calculated by using the VTST/MT and compared to our previous study about cyclic-O3. From our high-level calculations, the energy barriers of the isomerization reactions for O3, S3, and Se3 were predicted to be 21.1, 25.8, and 22.9 kcal/mol, respectively. The half-life of the cyclic-S3 estimated by VTST/MT was ~12.7 hours at 300 K and ∼106 years at 200 K. Since the Se3 systems were expected to show much less tunneling effects, both cyclic S3 and Se3 were expected to be kinetically stable. In chapter 5, we studied the proton transfer reactions of 1,8- dihydroxy-2-naphthaldehyde (DHNA) on both ground state (S0) and 1st singlet excited state (S1) and estimated the wavelenths of vertical S0 -> S1 excitation and S1 -> S0 emissions. On the ground-state (S0), the normal form (N) was lower in energies than tautomer A (TA) by 1.5 kcal/mol and the barrier of N -> TA was 2.6 kcal/mol, which suggested there were equilibrium between the N and TA species in S0. The calculated S1 barriers of N* -> TA* and TA* -> TB* were 0.3 and 2.1 kcal/mol, respectively, which suggested there existed a low energy path for N* to produced TA* and TB* by single and double proton transfer reactions. A comprehensive 2-D PES plot proved that the sequential, two-step proton motion is along the minimum energetic pathway, consistent with the experimental results.
