• Water and astrobiology (2007, unknown): “…the ice mixtures in Table 2 at 10K allowed construction of a quantitative, mechanistic model for the formation of three astrobiologically important biomarkers on and inside interstellar, waterrich ices: CH3COOH, HCOOCH3, and HCOCH2OH (Bennett et al., 2006, 2007; Bennett and Kaiser, 2007a, b).”
• The Galactic Center: The Largest Oxygen-bearing Organic Molecule Repository (2007, background): “Recently Bennett & Kaiser (2007) have formed the isomers CH2OHCHO and HCOOCH3 on grain mantle analogs by irradiation of a mixture of CH3OH and CO ices at 10 K with energetic electrons to mimic the effects of the cosmic rays.”
• Our astrochemical heritage (2012, background): “Photoprocesses are experimentally found to promote the formation of organic species more complex than CH3OH ([175]; [34]; [320]; [327]) up to amino acids (e.”
• Complex organic molecules in protoplanetary disks (2013, methodology): “These atoms, in turn, ionise the molecular material within the icemantle also creating energetic electrons (∼ keV) which also dissociate ionise the ice mantle material (see, e.g., Kaiser & Roessler 1997; Bennett & Kaiser 2007; Bennett et al. 2011).”

• Detection of complex organic molecules in a prestellar core: a new challenge for astrochemical models (2012, background): “Laboratory experiments however have shown the possibility to synthesize COMs such as methyl formate by irradiation (with UV photons or energetic particles) of methanol ices at temperatures as low as 10 K (Gerakines et al. 1996; Bennett & Kaiser 2007).”
