Astronomical dust molecule of carbon-rich nebula-Lin49 and nebula-Tc1 could be identified to be polycyclic-pure-carbon C23 by the quantum-chemical calculation. Two driving forces were assumed. One is high speed proton attack on coronene-C24H12, which created void-induced C23H12. Another is high energy photon irradiation, which brought deep photo-ionization and finally caused dehydrogenation to be C23. Infrared spectrum calculation show that a set of ionized C23 (neutral, mono, and di-cation) could reproduce observed many peaks of 28 bands at wavelength from 6 to 38 micrometer. Previously predicted neutral fullerene-C60 could partially reproduce observed spectrum by 5 bands. Also, we tried calculation on ionized-C60, which show fairly good coincidence with observed 10 bands

It had been understood that astronomically observed infrared spectrum of carbon rich planetary nebula as like Tc 1 and Lin 49 comes from fullerene (C60). Also, it is well known that graphene is a raw material for synthesizing fullerene. This study se eks some capability of graphene based on the quantum-chemical DFT calculation. It was demonstrated that graphene plays major role rather than fullerene. We applied two astrophysical conditions, which are void creation by high speed proton and photo-ionization by the central star. Model molecule was ionized void-graphene (C23) having one carbon pentagon combined with hexagons. By molecular vibrational analysis, we could reproduce six major bands from 6 to 9 micrometer, large peak at 12.8, and largest peak at 19.0. Also, many minor bands could be reproduced from 6 to 38 micrometer. Also, deeply void induced molecules (C22) and (C21) could support observed bands.

Interstellar infrared observation shows featured spectrum due to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH)at wavelength 3.3,6.2,7.6,7.8,8.6,and 11.3 micrometer,which are ubiquitously observed in many astronomical dust clouds and galaxies. Our previous fi rst principles calculation revieled that viod induced coronene (C23H12)2+ and circumcoronene (C53H18)1+ could reproduce such spectrum very well. In this study, quantum-mechanic origin was studied through atomic configuration change and atomic vibration mode analysis. By a high speed particle attack, carbon void would be introduced in PAH. Molecular configuration was deformed by the Jahn-Teller quantum effect. Carbon SP3 local bond was created among SP2 graphene like carbon network. Also, carbon tetrahedron local structure was created. Such peculiar structure is the quantum origin. Those metamorphosed molecules would be photo-ionized by the central star strong photon irradiation resulting cation molecules. Atomic vibration mode of cation molecule (C23H12)2+ was compared with that of neutral one (C23H12). At 3.3 micrometer, both molecules show show C-H stretching mode and give fairly large infrared intensity. At 6.2,7.6,7.8, and 8.6 micrometer bands, cation molecule show complex C-C stretching and shrinking mixing modes and remain large infrared emission. Whereas, neutral molecule gives harmonic motion, which cancelles each other resulting very small infrared intensity. At 11.3 micrometer, both neutral and cation molecules show C-H bending motion perpendicular to a molecular plane, which contributes to strong emission. Actual observed spectrum would be a sum of such quantum-mechanic origined molecules.
It is well known since 2010 that fullerene C60 is widespread through the interstellar space. Also, it is well known that graphene is a source material for synthesizing fullerene. Here, we simply assume the occurrence of graphene in space. Infrared sp ectra of graphene molecules are calculated to compare both to astronomical observational spectra and to laboratory experimental one. Model molecules for DFT calculation are selected by one astronomical assumption, that is, single void in charge neutral graphene of C13, C24 and C54, resulting C12, C23 and C53. They have a carbon pentagon ring within a hexagon network. Different void positions are classified as different species. Single void is surrounded by 3 radical carbons, holding 6 spins. Spin state affects molecular configuration and vibrational spectrum. It was a surprise that the triplet state is stable than the singlet. Most of charge neutral and triplet spin state species show closely resembling spectra with observed one of carbon rich planetary nebulae Tc1 and Lin49. We could assign major bands at 18.9 micrometer, and sub-bands at 6.6, 7.0, 7.6, 8.1, 8.5, 9.0 and 17.4 micrometer. It is interesting that those graphene species were also assigned in the laboratory experiments on laser-induced carbon plasma, which are analogies of carbon cluster creation in space. The conclusion is that graphene molecules could potentially contribute to the infrared emission bands of carbon-rich planetary nebulae.
Void-defect induced magnetism of graphene molecule was recently reported in our previous paper of this series study. This paper investigated the case of hydrogenated graphene molecule, in chemical term, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH). Molecula r infrared spectrum obtained by density functional theory was compared with astronomical observation. Void-defect on PAH caused serious structure change. Typical example of C23H12 had two carbon pentagon rings among hexagon networks. Stable spin state was non-magnetic singlet state. This is contrary to pure carbon case of C23, which show magnetic triplet state. It was discussed that Hydrogen played an important role to diminish magnetism by creating an SP3-bond among SP2-networks. Such a structure change affected molecular vibration and finally to photoemission spectrum in infrared region. The dication-C23H12 showed featured bands at 3.2, 6.3, 7.7, 8.6, 11.2, and 12.7 micrometer. It was surprising that those calculated bands coincided well with astronomically observed bands in many planetary nebulae. To confirm our study, large size molecule of C53H18 was studied. Calculation reproduced again similar astronomical bands. Also, small size molecule of C12H8 showed good coincidence with the spectrum observed for young stars. This paper would be the first report to indicate the specific PAH in space.

Astronomical evolution mechanism of small size polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) was analyzed using the first principles quantum-chemical calculation. Starting model molecule was benzene (C6H6), which would be transformed to (C5H5) due to carbon void created by interstellar high speed proton attack. In a protoplanetary disk around a young star, molecules would be illuminated by high energy photon and ionized to be cationic-(C5H5). Calculation shows that from neutral to tri-cation, molecule keeps original configuration. At a step of sixth cation, there occurs surprising creation of cyclic-C3H2, which is the smallest PAH. Astronomical cyclic-C3H2 had been identified by radio astronomy. Deep photoionization of cyclic-C3H2 brings successive molecular change. Neutral and mono-cation keep cyclic configuration. At a step of di-cation, molecule was transformed to aliphatic chain-C3H2. Finally, chain-C3H2 was decomposed to pure carbon chain-C3 and two hydrogen atoms. Calculated infrared spectrum of those molecules was applied to observed spectrum of Herbig Ae young stars. Observed infrared spectrum could be partially explained by small molecules. Meanwhile, excellent coincidence was obtained by applying a larger molecules as like (C23H12)2+ or (C12H8)2+. Infrared observation is suitable for larger molecules and radio astronomy for smaller asymmetric molecules. It should be noted that these molecules could be identified in a natural way introducing two astronomical phenomena, that is, void-induced molecular deformation and deep photoionization.
