Gas-phase Formation of Large, Astronomically Relevant Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon Clusters

As one class of important carbon reservoirs in interstellar clouds, large polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and their derivative species play an important role in the formation and evolution of interstellar carbonaceous compounds. To understand these chemical routes, the gas-phase ion–molecula...
