AbstractThe infrared spectra of many galactic and extragalactic objects are dominated by emission features at 3.3, 6.2, 7.7, 8.6 and 11.2 μm. The carriers of these features remained a mystery for almost a decade, hence the bands were dubbed the unidentified infrared (UIR) bands. Since the mid-80's, the UIR bands are generally attributed to the IR fluorescence of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon molecules (PAHs) upon absorption of UV photons – the PAH hypothesis. Here we review the progress made over the past 25 years in understanding the UIR bands and their carriers.

AbstractA discussion is presented of the chemistry of quiescent molecular clouds, and the effects of the presence of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon molecules and of cosmic-ray induced ultraviolet photons are examined. A comparison is made with the chemistry occurring in molecular clouds that are subjected to shocks and the differences between dissociative and non-dissociative shocks are described. The changes in composition caused by intense cosmic ray fluxes or intense ultraviolet radiation fields are explored.
