Abstract
N) or more complex organic species containing N atoms in planetary atmospheres, such as those of Titan and Pluto. Overall, the results are expected to have a potentially significant impact on the understanding of the gas-phase chemistry of Titan's atmosphere and the modeling of that atmosphere.
