Formation of Interstellar Complex Organic Molecules on Water-rich Ices Triggered by Atomic Carbon Freezing
The reactivity of interstellar carbon atoms (C) on water-dominated ices is one of the possible ways to form interstellar complex organic molecules (iCOMs). In this work, we report a quantum chemical study of the coupling reaction of C ( ^3 P) with an icy water molecule, alongside possible subsequent...
