Inside Back Cover: Interstellar Ice Chemistry Yields Elusive Sulfinothioic Acid (HS(O)SH)
Interstellar grains doped with sulfur dioxide illustrate reactions within molecular clouds and pave the way for unique sulfur-oxygen chemistry. In the Communication e8731327, Ryan Fortenberry, Ralf I. Kaiser, and co-workers identify sulfinothioic acid (HS(O)SH) by isomer-selective photoionization mass spectrometry of irradiated sulfur dioxide-water ices, linking unexplored sulfur bonding with the molecular complexity harbored in cosmic nurseries.
