Description

Many types of molecules have been detected in interstellar space. I describe the reaction network by which the simpler molecules are formed, and discuss problems in the formation of the larger molecules. All the schemes depend on the presence of H2, and I describe a detailed theoretical study of N2 formation on interstellar grains. Present problems and new directions are described
