Primitive Chemically Fueled Reaction Cascade For Dissipative Droplets

A primitive, chemically fueled phosphonodithiolates reaction cascade was constructed using phosphate-based T3P as the chemical fuel and 4-methoxybenzenethiol as the precursor molecule.

This reaction cascade functions as a primitive metabolism network, utilizing higher-energy phosphate-based fuel and phosphonodithiolates formation to drive molecular assembly. The resulting assembly is energy-dissipative and transient.

This primitive reaction cascade also implies a possible pathway for phosphor entry into the primitive metabolic networks.
