The impact shock heating of ferrocyanide salts is one potential way to support several prebiotic scenarios, requiring both cyanamide and cyanoacetylene. We show however that an initial cometary impact is extremely unlikely, given available (1/3)
The plausibility of origins scenarios requiring two impactors
Hydrogen cyanide delivered by cometary impactors can be concentrated as ferrocyanide salts, which may support the initial stages of prebiotic chemistry on the early Earth. One way to achieve the condi...
