The reaction was included into an astrochemical model, using which modeling was carried out under conditions corresponding to the envelope of the AGB star IRC+10216. Based on the modeling results, it is shown that the trimerization reaction of acetylene on the SiC surface can effectively occur under the conditions of the envelopes of AGB stars and have a significant effect on the benzene abundance, and, as a consequence, other aromatic molecules. Accounting for acetylene trimerization can increase the benzene abundance in the gas by an order of magnitude, and at the surface the benzene abundance can be up to four orders of magnitude higher compared to estimates in the gas predicted by a model with only gas-phase reactions. The rate of benzene formation on the SiC surface significantly exceeds the rate of benzene formation in the gas during the early phases of the stellar pulsation. The efficiency of benzene formation in the trimerization reaction depends on currently unknown kinetic parameters of the reaction, in particular, on the desorption energy of the resulting benzene molecule. Determination of reaction parameters will help to perform more accurate quantitative modeling in the future.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Работа посвящена оценке вклада реакции тримеризации молекул ацетилена на поверхности частиц из карбида кремния (SiC) с образованием молекул бензола в содержание бензола в оболочках звезд асимптотической ветви гигантов (АВГ). Реакция внедрена в астрохимическую модель, с помощью которой выполнено моделирование в условиях, соответствующих оболочке звезды АВГ IRC+10216. По результатам моделирования показано, что реакция тримеризации ацетилена на поверхности SiC может эффективно протекать в условиях оболочек звезд АВГ и оказывать существенное влияние на содержание бензола, и, как следствие, других ароматических молекул. Учет тримеризации ацетилена может повысить содержание бензола в газе на порядок. Содержание бензола на поверхности пыли может быть на четыре порядка превышать оценки для газовой фазы, предсказанные моделью только с газофазными реакциями. Темпы образования бензола на поверхности SiC значительно превосходят темпы образования бензола в газе на ранних фазах пульсации звезды. Эффективность образования бензола в реакции тримеризации и его перехода в газ зависит от неизвестных на данный момент кинетических параметров реакции, в частности, от энергии десорбции образовавшейся молекулы бензола. Определение параметров реакции в будущем помогут провести более точное количественное моделирование.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>stars</kwd><kwd>asymptotic giant branch (AGB)</kwd><kwd>post-AGB</kwd><kwd>silicon carbide (SiC)</kwd><kwd>carbon</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>звезды</kwd><kwd>асимптотическая ветвь гигантов (АВГ) и пост-АВГ</kwd><kwd>карбид кремния (SiC)</kwd><kwd>углерод</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group><award-group><funding-source><institution-wrap><institution xml:lang="ru">Российский научный фонд</institution></institution-wrap><institution-wrap><institution xml:lang="en">Russian Science Foundation</institution></institution-wrap></funding-source><award-id>24-22-20104</award-id></award-group><award-group><funding-source><institution-wrap><institution xml:lang="ru">Правительство Москвы</institution></institution-wrap><institution-wrap><institution xml:lang="en">Moscow Government</institution></institution-wrap></funding-source></award-group></funding-group></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>A.G.G.M.
