Abstract
About eighty molecular species have been detected in interstellar clouds to date (Irvine et al., 1988). Some of the observed molecules contain rare (heavy) isotopes, notably deuterium (Millar et al., 1989), in greater fractional abundances than would be expected from their cosmic or terrestrial abundance ratios.
