Nonequilibrium Formation of Cyanophosphine (H2PCN)─The Simplest Phosphorus-Containing Nitrile─in Interstellar Ice Analogues

Abstract The detection of phosphorus-bearing molecules along with the high abundance of nitriles in interstellar and circumstellar environments suggests that phosphorus-containing nitriles may form under astrophysical conditions; however, their formation mechanisms have remained...
