Cosmochemical/Space Petroleomics and Meteoritic Metallopetroleomics as Novel Approaches for Meteorite Genesis Studies, Evolutionary Organic Astrochemistry and Prebiological Chemical Evolution Reconstruction
It is well known that hydrocarbons (both aliphatic [1][2][3] and aromatic [4,5] ones) are frequently found in meteoritic samples.The most known examples are: hydrocarbons (predominantly aromatic ones) in the Murchison meteorite [4][5][6][7] (usually together with abiogenic amines and amino-acids [5-7], monocarboxylic acids [8-10]), hydrocarbons in Orgueil meteorite (comparable with the terrestrial hydrocarbon samples [11]).In many meteorites (such as Pavel and Goumoshnik) not only normal but also isoprenoid hydrocarbons can be found [12,13].Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) were also detected in and Allende [19] meteorites, Antarctic carbonaceous chondrites [16,20], Martian meteorites [21][22][23][24] and asteroids (such as Ryugu [25]).Amino acids and hydrocarbons were found in the Paris meteorite, the most primitive CM chondrite [26][27][28].It is of great interest for the origin of life studies (and panspermia hypothesis refutation)
