Abstract | The cyclopentadiene (C5H6) molecule has emerged as a molecular building block of nonplanar polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and carbonaceous nanostructures such as corannulene (C20H10), nanobowls (C40H10), and fullerenes (C60) in deep space. However, the underlying elementary gas- phase processes synthesizing cyclopentadiene from acyclic hydrocarbon precursors have remained elusive. Here, by merging crossed molecular beam experiments with rate coefficient calculations and comprehensive astrochemical modeling, we afford persuasive testimony on an unconventional low- temperature cyclization pathway to cyclopentadiene from acyclic precursors through the reaction of the simplest diatomic organic radical-methylidyne (CH)- with 1,3- butadiene (C4H6) representing main route to cyclopentadiene observed in TaurusMolecular Cloud. This facile route provides potential solution for the incorporation of the cyclopentadiene moiety in complex aromatic systems via bottom-up molecular mass growth processes and offers an entry point to the low- temperature chemistry in deep space leading eventually to nonplanar PAHs in our carbonaceous Universe. |
