Scientific paper

The formation of HCN and chromophores are two of the major unsolved problems of the atmospheric chemistry of Jupiter. The question to be dealt with is the same in each case: how can these unsaturated organic compounds be formed in the highly reducing atmosphere (89% H2) present on Jupiter? The photolysis of ammonia/acetylene mixtures provides an answer to this question. The authors report the formation of both HCN and chromophores along with experimental data which support the premise that this photochemical process provides a route for the formation of both substances.
