Molecular Complexity in Solar-like Planetary Systems


Our is the only planet known to have developed such a complex chemistry which led to life. Numerous evidence suggests that molecular complexity had begun and developed when the Solar System was an embryo inside a cold molecular cloud. In this presentation, I will review the overall picture of how molecular complexity builds up along with the evolution of the molecular cloud embryo into a protoplanetary system. I will also give an overview of the major chemical processes and the many challenges that remain to be overcome.
