The adjustment of experimental parameters in interstellar ice analogues can have profound effects on molecular synthesis within an ice system. We demonstrated this by systematically investigating the stoichiometric mixing ratios of CO : NH ices as a function of thermal processing using mid-IR and VUV spectroscopy. We observed that the type of CO bonding environment was dependent on the different stoichiometric mixing ratios and that this pre-determined the NH crystallite structure after phase change. The thermal reactivity of the ices was linked to the different chemical and physical properties of the stoichiometric ratios. Our results provide new details into the chemical and physical properties of the different stoichiometric CO : NH ices enhancing our understanding of the thermally induced molecular synthesis within this ice system.

MXenes have rapidly ascended as a prominent class of two-dimensional (2D) materials, renowned for their distinctive optical and electrical properties. Despite extensive exploration of MXenes' optical properties, existing studies predominantly focus on the near-infrared (NIR) to the ultraviolet spectral range, leaving the mid-infrared (mid-IR) range relatively uncharted. In this study, we conducted a comprehensive characterization of the intrinsic optical properties of TiCT MXene across an ultrabroadband spectral range, spanning from mid-IR (28 meV) to vacuum ultraviolet (VUV, 6.

Many experimental parameters determine the chemical and physical properties of interstellar ice analogues, each of which may influence the molecular synthesis that occurs in such ices. In part 1, James , , 2020, , 37517, we demonstrated the effects that the stoichiometric mixing ratio had on the chemical and physical properties of CO : NH mixtures and the impact on molecular synthesis induced by thermal processing. Here, in part 2, we extend this to include 1 keV electron irradiation at 20 K of several stoichiometric mixing ratios of CO : NH ices followed by thermal processing.

Aniline-methanol mixed clusters are ionized by single photon vacuum ultraviolet (VUV, 118 nm) radiation with which absorption to an excited intermediate S(1) state is not required. Aniline ion (An(+)), a series of (An)(n)(+)-(CH(3)OH)(m) (n = 1, 2) cluster ions, and their hydrogenated cluster ions, (An)(n)(+)-(CH(3)OH)(m)H (n = 1, 2) are observed by mass spectrometry. Infrared (IR) absorption spectra of aniline-methanol cluster cations and neutrals are measured through IR and VUV (118 nm) "ion dip" spectroscopy in the range 2500-4000 cm(-1).
