1 Microwave Studies of Glycerol F.J. Lovas, and D.F Plusquellic NIST and V.V. Ilyushin and R.A. Motiyenko Institute of Radio Astronomy of NASU

2 Outline Background on Studies of Polyols (for astronomy) MW Study of Glycerol: ab Initio calculations Prior free jet study (60 - 78 GHz) FTMW study (9 - 26.5 GHz) Summary

3 Glycerol: CH 2 OHCHOHCH 2 OH Sweet, colorless, viscous liquid Results from hydrolysis of fats & oils Many applications: pharmaceuticals & cosmetics chemical stabilizer plasticizer coatings moisturizer adhesives & lubricants

4 Sugars and Polyols in Space C 2 sugar: “Interstellar Glycolaldehyde: The First Sugar” J.M. Hollis, F.J. Lovas, & P.R. Jewell, Ap.

J. 643, L29 (2006) 63 new transitions of DHA were sought but no plausible emission was observed for 97% of these

6 Murchison and Murray Meteorite Studies Polyols in Meteorites by GC-MS Carbonaceous meteorites as a source of sugar-related organic compounds for the early Earth“ Cooper, Kimmich, Belisle, Sarinana, Brabham & Garrel, Nature 414, 879 (2001). “Murchison meteorite is generally used as the standard reference for organic compounds in Extraterrestrial material.” CarbonsSugarsSugar AlcoholsSugar Acids C2C2 ---ethylene glycol ---- C3C3 dihydroxyacetoneglycerolglyceric acid C4C4 ---Erythritol & Threitol erythronic acid & threonic acid C5C5 ---ribitol & isomers ribonic acid & isomers

7 Prior Lab and Theoretical Studies Ab Initio study of ethylene glycol and glycerol: Teppen et al. J. Mol. Struct. 314, 169 (1994). Found 11 stable conformers for glycerol “Free jet investigation of the rotational spectrum of glycerol” G. Maccaferri, W. Caminati, & P.G. Favero, J. Chem. Soc. Faraday Trans. 93, 4115 (1997). Identified the 2 lowest energy conformers in the 60 – 78 GHz range for the normal and tri-OD species
