Scientific paper

Following a detailed experimental survey of the reactions of ions in the series PH(n)(+) (n = 0 to 4) with several molecular gases (Smith et al., 1989), possible routes to the synthesis of phosphorus-bearing molecules in interstellar clouds are considered. Many phosphorus-bearing ions are synthesized in the PH(n)(+) reactions, and the large majority of these ions are unreactive with H2 and CO, the most abundant interstellar molecules. Thus the phosphorus-bearing ions could dissociatively recombine with electrons to produce phosphorus-bearing neutral molecules in interstellar clouds including PN, PO, PS, and HCP.
