Abstract

The gas phase chemistry of hot molecular cores is thought to depend upon the composition of evaporated ice mantle material and its subsequent gas phase reactions. We have modelled the silicon chemistry in these conditions from an SiH4 precursor and find substantial fractional abundances of SiO, H2SiO and HNSi on a timescale of a few 104 yr.
