Reduction of nitrogen compounds in oceanic basement and its implications for HCN formation and abiotic organic synthesis
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Hydrogen cyanide is an excellent organic reagent and is central to most of the reaction pathways leading to abiotic formation of simple organic compounds containing nitrogen, such as amino acids, purines and pyrimidines. Reduced carbon and nitrogen precursor comp...
