Abstract We present a comparison between the IR spectrum of the galactic center source IRS 7 and the spectrum of a carbonaceous polymer from the Orgueil meteorite. We have obtained an almost perfect match between the two spectra in the region between 3020-2790 cm−1, which suggests that the chemical composition of the interstellar organic matter and that of the meteorite polymer are similar or that the meteoritic polymer could be a well preserved interstellar organic molecule. Assuming that the meteoritic polymer has the same ratio as these interstellar molecules, we find that 45 % of the total abundance of carbon in the line of sight toward IRS 7 is trapped in such an interstellar organic grain material.
