Cover Feature: UV–Vis Spectra of Carbonic Acid: Rationalizing Experimental Redshifts between Monomer and Bulk based on (H<sub>2</sub>CO<sub>3</sub>)<sub>n</sub> Calculations (ChemPhysChem 18/2025)
The Cover Feature illustrates how irradiation of CO2:H2O ices forms carbonic acid, relevant to interstellar ices like those in Sagittarius B2. Quantum chemical calculations of carbonic acid clusters help interpret infrared and ultraviolet spectra, aiding future identification with telescopes such as JWST or Hubble.
