ABSTRACT
Aluminium is one of the most abundant metals in the universe and impacts the evolution of various astrophysical environments. Currently detected Al-bearing molecules represent only a small fraction of the aluminium budget, suggesting that aluminium may reside in other species. AlO and AlOH molecules are abundant in the oxygen-rich supergiant stars such as VY Canis Majoris, a stellar molecular factory with 60+ molecules including the prebiotic NC-bearing species. Additional Al-bearing molecules with N, C, O, and H may form in O-rich environments with radiation-accelerated chemistry. Here, we present spectroscopic identification of novel aluminium-bearing molecules composed of [Al, N, C, O, H] and [Al, N, C, O] from the reactions of Al atoms and HNCO in solid argon matrix, which are potential Al-bearing molecules in space. Photoinduced transformations among six [Al, N, C, O, H] isomers and three [Al, N, C, O] isomers, along with their dissociation reactions forming the known interstellar species, have been disclosed. These results provide new insight into the chemical network of astronomically detected Al-bearing species in space.
