Raulin, François; Coll, Patrice; Bernard, Jean-Michel +1 more

After the discovery of CO, CO₂, and more recently H₂O in Titan's atmosphere, the chemistry of oxygenated organic compounds in this environment has been limited to theoretical studies only. Both kinetic and thermochemical models predict the formation of methanol and formaldehyde as the main O-organic products. Here we show tha…
