Scientific paper

We present the first results of our survey of methanol emission in the central 30 pc of our Galaxy at 96GHz and 242GHz conducted with the IRAM 30-m telescope. Methanol possesses a rich mm spectrum allowing the reliable determination of both density and kinetic temperature from radiative transfer models. It is formed on dust grains, evaporated by UV radiation and shocks, and destroyed by gas phase chemical reactions. The Galactic Center region is a dynamic environment where existing energetic processes affect the chemistry on the grain mantles, promoting the formation of complex organic molecules.
