Abstract: Carbonaceous chondrites represent roughly 4% of all meteorite falls on Earth.1 Some of these carbon-rich meteorites (up to 3 wt % of carbon) contain a diverse suite of organic compounds that hold a record of the chemical inventory and processes that occurred in the early Solar System and through parent body processing. Most of the organic carbon in carbonaceous meteorites is in the form of insoluble organic matter (IOM), while the rest is composed of a complex mixture of soluble organic compo…
