• The Molecular Universe (2011, background): “Hydrogen cyanide also reflects a high temperature chemistry and may be produced in the same regions and perhaps even through the same processes if PAHs do contain N (Hudgins et al. 2005).”
• THE INFRARED SPECTRA OF VERY LARGE IRREGULAR POLYCYCLIC AROMATIC HYDROCARBONS (PAHs): OBSERVATIONAL PROBES OF ASTRONOMICAL PAH GEOMETRY, SIZE, AND CHARGE (2009, background): “As noted in Section 3.2, of all the pure PAHs and closely related species studied to date, only those that contain internal N atoms can reproduce the peak position of the class A band, i.e., that which peaks at 6.2 μm (Peeters et al. 2002a; Hudgins et al. 2005).”
• The Infrared Spectra of Very Large, Compact, Highly Symmetric, Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) (2008, background): “This supports our previous conclusion that pure PAHmolecules cannot reproduce the 6.2 mcomponent (classA in Peeters et al. 2002a) of the astronomical emission feature, leading to the suggestion that astronomical PAHs contain nitrogen (PANHs; Peeters et al. 2002a; Hudgins et al. 2005).”
