Interstellar Radicals

Interstellar Radicals is a class of chemically reactive molecular species containing unpaired electrons that are observed in the interstellar medium, distinguished by their spectroscopic signatures and roles in initiating complex organic reactions under low-temperature, low-density astrophysical conditions.
