The atmosphere of TOI-1130b shows high metallicity, low C/O, and elevated mean molecular weight consistent with ex-situ formation beyond the water ice line.
Deep hydrocarbon chemistry and quenching in sub-Neptunes create PAH abundances peaking at 600 K, providing a first-principles explanation for the muted transmission spectra trend between 500-800 K.
