In this study, we investigated the surface reactions of solid CS2 with hydrogen (H) atoms on amorphous solid water (ASW) using laboratory experiments supported by computational calculations.<\/p>\n<p>Our results show that CS2 reacts with H atoms through quantum tunneling in the initial step, followed by successive H addition reactions, with or without activation barriers, on icy surfaces.<\/p>\n<p>These processes lead to the formation of several sulfur-bearing species, including hydrogen sulfide (H2S), methyl mercaptan (CH3SH), and small amounts of dithioformic acid (HC(S)SH) and methanedithiol (CH2(SH)2). The observed reactivity of CS2 with H atoms provides a plausible explanation for the non-detection of CS2 in interstellar ices.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the efficient hydrogenation of the complex molecules derived from CS2, namely HC(S)SH and CH2(SH)2, suggests that these species could be easily undergone with H atoms to produce other S-bearing species under ISM conditions.<\/p>\n<p>Thanh Nguyen, Germ\u00e1n Molpeceres, Yasuhiro Oba, Marcelino Ag\u00fandez, Gisela Esplugues, Jos\u00e9 Cernicharo, Naoki Watanabe<\/p>\n<p>Comments: Accepted in MNRAS<br \/>Subjects: Astrophysics of Galaxies (astro-ph.GA)<br \/>Cite as: arXiv:2602.21126 [astro-ph.GA](or arXiv:2602.21126v1 [astro-ph.GA] for this version)<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.48550\/arXiv.2602.21126\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">https:\/\/doi.org\/10.48550\/arXiv.2602.21126<\/a><br \/>Focus to learn more<br \/>Submission history<br \/>From: German Molpeceres<br \/>[v1] Tue, 24 Feb 2026 17:22:37 UTC (2,144 KB)<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/arxiv.org\/abs\/2602.21126\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">https:\/\/arxiv.org\/abs\/2602.21126<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Astrobiology,<\/p>\n<p>                                                                            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/keith_cowing.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Explorers Club Fellow, ex-NASA Space Station Payload manager\/space biologist, Away Teams, Journalist, Lapsed climber, Synaesthete, Na\u2019Vi-Jedi-Freman-Buddhist-mix, ASL, Devon Island and Everest Base Camp veteran, (he\/him) \ud83d\udd96\ud83c\udffb<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Carbon disulfide (CS2) \u2014 Wikipedia Carbon disulfide (CS2) is one of the sulfur-bearing species expected to be present&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":311982,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[4515,156286,156287,156288,152323,85,58599,79197,113287,46,156289,89432,141,6029],"class_list":{"0":"post-311981","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-science","8":"tag-analog","9":"tag-astro-ph-ga","10":"tag-carbon-disulfide","11":"tag-dithioformic-acid","12":"tag-https-astrobiology-com-2026-02-astrochemistry","13":"tag-il","14":"tag-interstellar","15":"tag-interstellar-ice","16":"tag-interstellar-medium","17":"tag-israel","18":"tag-methanedithiol","19":"tag-organic-chemistry","20":"tag-science","21":"tag-spectroscopy"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/311981","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=311981"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/311981\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/311982"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=311981"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=311981"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=311981"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
