Spectral line list of hydantoin

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

Hydantoin (Imidazolidine-2, 4-dione, C_3_H_4_N_2_O_2_) is a five-membered heterocyclic compound that is known to arise from prebiotic molecules such as glycolic acid and urea, and to give the simplest amino acid, glycine, by hydrolysis under acidic condition.

Description

The gas chromatography combined with the mass spectrometry of carbonaceous chondrites lead to the detection of this molecule as well as several kinds of amino acids.

The lack of spectroscopic information, especially on the rotational constants, has prevented us from conducting a search for hydantoin in interstellar space. If a rotational temperature of 100K is assumed as the kinetic temperature of a star-forming region, the spectral intensity is expected to be at its maximum in the millimeter-wave region. Laboratory spectroscopy of hydantoin in the millimeter-wave region is the most important in providing accurate rest frequencies to be used for astronomical research.

Pure rotational spectra of hydantoin were observed in the millimeter-wave region using the frequency modulated microwave spectrometer at Toho University. Solid hydantoin was heated to around 150{deg}C to provide appropriate vapor pressure. Quantum chemical calculations suggest that the permanent dipole moment of this molecule lies almost along the b-molecular axis, so that spectral search for b-type R-branch transition has been conducted.
