Abstract The molecular basis for the chemical evolution of low molecular compounds was studied using electric discharges on a higly oxidized atmosphere comprised of $ CO_{2} $, $ N_{2} $ and $ H_{2} $O. In the gas phase, $ O_{2} $ and CO were formed by the decomposition of $ CO_{2} $ and their yields were enhanced by the addition of $ N_{2} $ to the gas mixture. It was demonstrated that $ H_{2} $O suppressed the reduction of $ CO_{2} $ while $ H_{2} $O also had a role in producing organic compounds such as formic acid and formaldehyde. Infrared analysis of the water soluble products and the inner surface of the reaction vessel indicated the production of compounds more complex than formic acid and formaldehyde. These compounds contained the chemical bonds which were identified to be OH, CO, CN and/or CC.
