AbstractNearly 70 interstellar/circumstellar molecules are known today, containing H(54 species), C(52), N(25), O(23), S(11), Si(4), and Cl(1). Of these compounds 13 contain CH3-groups and 15 are acetylenic carbon chains. The abundance limits for complex molecules often are not low compared to the detection levels of species discovered. Here we should remember that absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.
