Abstract

The aim of this work is to study the chemistry of the irradiation of frozen solutions of HCN. This compound has been detected in comets and other icy bodies. The CN group might have made its first appearance in the early stages of chemical evolution. Therefore, is behavior under irradiation at low temperature is relevant for chemical evolution studies and icy bodies.
