摘要：
星际或星周介质中可能存在一种尘埃成核剂，数十年来似乎一直未被探测到，也未被研究。对Murchison CM2陨石的一些分析表明，至少部分铝以氮化铝形式凝聚存在，而不是以长期研究但迄今未被探测到的氧化铝系列形式存在。本理论研究利用显式关联耦合簇理论和密度泛函理论，提供了从铝烷（AlH₃）和氨形成环状结构Al₂N₂H₄的生成路径，该结构具有块体氮化铝所预期的正确Al/N比例。沿反应路径，对铝烷以及最初形成的两种结构AlNH₆和AlNH₄计算了新的振转光谱常数，可作为可能的实验室或观测研究的参考。AlNH₆在755.7 cm⁻¹（13.23 μm）处的ν₈弯曲频率呈现515 km mol⁻¹的振动跃迁强度，略强于二氧化碳的反对称C−O伸缩振动，并具有5.40 D的偶极矩，约为水的3倍。因此，本反应路径和振转光谱分析可能有助于天体物理学探测新型无机物种，这些物种可能指示更大尘埃颗粒的成核过程。
英文摘要：
A dust nucleating agent may be present in interstellar or circumstellar media that has gone seemingly undetected and unstudied for decades. Some analyses of the Murchison CM2 meteorite suggest that at least some of the aluminum present within condensed as aluminum nitrides instead of the long studied, but heretofore undetected suite of aluminum oxides. The present theoretical study utilizes explicitly correlated coupled cluster theory and density functional theory to provide a pathway of formation from alane (AlH$_3$) and ammonia to the cyclic structure, Al$_2$N$_2$H$_4$ which has the proper Al/N ratio expected of bulk aluminum nitrides. Novel rovibrational spectroscopic constants are computed for alane and the first two formed structures, AlNH$_6$ and AlNH$_4$, along the reaction pathway for use as reference in possible laboratory or observational studies. The $ν_8$ bending frequency for AlNH$_6$ at 755.7 cm$^{-1}$ (13.23 $μ$m) presents a vibrational transition intensity of 515 km mol$^{-1}$, slightly more intense than the anti-symmetric C$-$O stretch of carbon dioxide, and contains a dipole moment of 5.40 D, which is $\sim 3 \times$ larger than that of water. Thus, the present reaction pathway and rovibrational spectroscopic analysis may potentially assist in the astrophysical detection of novel, inorganic species which may be indicative of larger dust grain nucleation.
