Aliphatic side chains on PAHs shift certain infrared band intensity ratios, especially in small molecules, which can mislead ionization-state estimates, though the main diagnostic grid still applies with possible calibration.
Hydrogen tunneling makes H-abstraction reactions by C2H, OH, and CN competitive in TMC-1 despite low individual rates, affecting aromatic abundance predictions.
