Abstract

We present the fifth release of the UMIST Database for Astrochemistry (UDfA). The new reaction network contains 6173 gas-phase
reactions, involving 467 species, 47 of which are new to this release. We have updated rate coefficients across all reaction types.
We have included 1171 new anion reactions and updated and reviewed all photorates. In addition to the usual reaction network, we
also now include, for download, state-specific deuterated rate coefficients, deuterium exchange reactions and a list of surface binding
energies for many neutral species. Where possible, we have referenced the original source of all new and existing data. We have tested
the main reaction network using a dark cloud model and a carbon-rich circumstellar envelope model. We present and briefly discuss
the results of these models.
