The complex organic molecules that are found in protoplanetary disks (PPDs) feed into the planet forming process. What is not clear is how these molecules formed. The aims of this project is to establish the astrochemical link between molecular clouds and PPDs. This will entail using and adapting our existing codes to consider how dust grain ice mantles can act as carriers of this chemical complexity. We will start by considering the chemical properties of the smallest species (such as CO) and, subject to empirical constraints, use this to model the chemical behaviours of more complex species. The key result will be to determine how the chemical composition of a PPD is determined by the physical and chemical evolution of its parent molecular cloud.

在原星磁盘（PPD）中发现的复杂有机分子进出了行星形成过程。这些分子是如何形成的。该项目的目的是建立分子云和PPD之间的星体关系。这将需要使用并调整我们现有的代码来考虑灰尘冰层如何充当这种化学复杂性的载体。我们将首先考虑最小物种（例如CO）的化学特性，并受经验约束，使用它来对更复杂物种的化学行为进行建模。关键结果是确定PPD的化学组成如何取决于其母体分子云的物理和化学演化。
