Results with small, electrically charged
cyanide ions and water molecules reveal that water zips around ions to a greater extent than expected.
But directly observing temperature's role in how water and
cyanide ions interact has been difficult.
The team used temperature - controlled photoelectron spectroscopy in EMSL, the DOE's Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory on the PNNL campus, to determine how tightly one
cyanide ion and one to three water molecules interact at the very low temperature of -438 °F (12 Kelvin) and again at ambient temperature of 80 °F (equivalent to 300 Kelvin).

Therefore, the research group targeted molecular line emissions from hydrogen
cyanide (HCN), formyl
ion (HCO +), and hydrogen sulfide (CS) at millimeter / submillimeter wavelengths (* 4) in the galaxy called NGC 1097 (about 50 million light years away) with the ALMA Telescope in the Atacama Desert in Chile.
Emissions from hydrogen
cyanide (HCN), formyl
ion (HCO +), and carbon monoxide (CO) are clearly detected, although the emission from hydrogen sulfide (CS) was not detected.
The researchers plan to follow up with studies that include many water molecules and
ions at once, as well as with more complex
ions than
cyanide.
