الوصف: This review is concerned with the formation of molecules in the interstellar medium (ISM), which is composed mainly of regions of gas and dust known as interstellar clouds, ranging in size from a few to 100’s of light years in extent. Upwards of 200 different molecules have been observed spectroscopically in these objects, with a significant fraction of them ‘large’ by astronomical standards; i.e. containing six or more atoms. Interstellar clouds are of interest to chemists because of the exotic molecules and chemistry that occur in these sources, while they are of interest to astronomers because these clouds are the only known birthplaces of new stars and extrasolar planets. The formation of stars and planets from portions of dense interstellar clouds is a complex evolutionary process with multiple stages dependent upon the mass of the collapsing object. For low-mass stars such as our sun, the process is reasonably well understood and proceeds through the following intermediate stages: cold dense cores, ...
