Abstract

We argue that the observation of molecules such as NH3, CH3OH, HDO and NH2D in hot molecular cores indicates that surface reactions on interstellar grains must play an important role in determining the gas phase abundances in such regions. The detection of large saturated molecules in hot cores suggests that the surface chemistry might be extremely complex.
