In this work we present the first experimental spectra of Tholins in the far and mid infrared range. Tholins have been produced with the PAMPRE experimental setup. The spectra have been measured at the French SOLEIL synchrotron facility. Results are compared to absorbance spectra derived from existing models and Cassini CIRS observations.
