Complex organic molecules have previously been discovered in solar type
protostars, raising the questions of where and how they form in the envelope.
Possible formation mechanisms include grain mantle evaporation, interaction of
the outflow with its surroundings or the impact of UV/X-rays inside the
cavities. In this Letter we present the first interferometric observations of
two complex molecules, CH3CN and HCOOCH3, towards the solar type protostar
IRAS16293-2422. The images show that the emission originates from two compact
regions centered on the two components of the binary system. We discuss how
these results favor the grain mantle evaporation scenario and we investigate
the implications of these observations for the chemical composition and
physical and dynamical state of the two components.Comment: 5 pages (apjemulate), 2 figures; accepted by ApJ
