The origin of methanethiol in midocean ridge hydrothermal fluids
Simple alkyl thiols such as methanethiol (CH[subscript 3]SH) are widely speculated to form in seafloor hot spring fluids. Putative CH[subscript 3]SH synthesis by abiotic (nonbiological) reduction of inorganic carbon (CO[subscript 2] or CO) has been invoked as an initiation reaction for the emergence...
