Hydropyrolysis of insoluble carbonaceous matter in the Murchison meteorite: New insights into its macromolecular structure
The major organic component of carbonaceous chondrites is a solvent-insoluble, high molecular weight macromolecular material that constitutes at least 70% of the total organic content in these meteorites. Analytical pyrolysis is often used to thermally decompose macromolecular organic matter in an inert atmosphere into lower molecular weight fragments that are more amenable to conventional orga...
متن کاملHydropyrolysis: A new technique for the analysis of macromolecular material in meteorites
The carbonaceous chondrite meteorites are fragments of asteroids that have remained relatively unprocessed since the formation of the Solar System 4.56 billion years ago. The major organic component in these meteorites is a macromolecular phase that is resistant to solvent extraction. The information contained within macromolecular material can be accessed by degradative techniques such as pyro...
متن کاملHigh molecular diversity of extraterrestrial organic matter in Murchison meteorite revealed 40 years after its fall.
Numerous descriptions of organic molecules present in the Murchison meteorite have improved our understanding of the early interstellar chemistry that operated at or just before the birth of our solar system. However, all molecular analyses were so far targeted toward selected classes of compounds with a particular emphasis on biologically active components in the context of prebiotic chemistry...
متن کاملStable carbon isotopic characterisation of free and bound lipid constituents of archaeological ceramic vessels released by solvent extraction, alkaline hydrolysis and catalytic hydropyrolysis
A sequential degradation scheme, involving solvent extraction, alkaline saponification and catalytic hydropyrolysis (open-system pyrolysis assisted by high hydrogen gas pressure), was used for recovering both free and covalently-bound lipid organic compounds from two archaeological ceramic sherds sampled from the interior of cooking vessels and from a ceramic control sample used for cooking mod...
متن کاملThe origin of organic matter in the Martian meteorite ALH84001.
Stable carbon isotope measurements of the organic matter associated with the carbonate globules and the bulk matrix material in the ALH84001 Martian meteorite indicate that two distinct sources are present in the sample. The delta 13C values for the organic matter associated with the carbonate globules averaged -26% and is attributed to terrestrial contamination. In contrast, the delta 13C valu...
