Possible role of phosphine in chemical evolutionExperiments simulating the formation of organic molecules in model reducing atmospheres including phosphine show that a variety of organic molecules can be synthesized. From the experiments using UV light as an energy source, it appears that the presence of phosphine drastically increases the yield of photolysis of methane and, thus, the yield of the formation of organic matter. The presence of phosphine enhances the formation of organophosphorous compounds, such as methyl and dimethylphosphine.
