CH was the first molecular ion identified in the interstellar medium and is found to be ubiquitous in interstellar clouds. However, its formation and destruction paths are not well understood, especially at low temperatures. A new theoretical approach based on the canonical variational transition state theory was used to study the H + CH reactive collisions.

It is found that the reactive cross sections reflect the existence of two different mechanisms, one being spin-forbidden. Using different models, we demonstrate that the spin-forbidden pathway follows a complex mechanism involving three electronic states instead of two as previously thought.

Aims: to assess the management of antiTNF-IP in IBD, and its impact in both diseases.
C H 3 + , a cornerstone intermediate in interstellar chemistry, has recently been detected for the first time by using the James Webb Space Telescope. The photodissociation of this ion is studied here. Accurate explicitly correlated multi-reference configuration interaction ab initio calculations are done, and full-dimensional potential energy surfaces are developed for the three lower electronic states, with a fundamental invariant neural network method.
