This volume contains the lectures presented at the first course of
the Inter national School of Space Chemistry held in Erice (Sicily)
from May 10 to May 20 at the 'E. Majorana Centre for Scientific
Culture'. The course was attended by 57 participants from 11
countries. The recognition by Professor A. Zichichi that space
chemistry is one of the important and rapidly growing scientific
disciplines with many and varied appli cations provided the
stimulation to initiate this new school. Historically, the study of
chemistry in space had its major origins in comets, the solar
nebula and circumstellar envelopes before the interstellar medium
achieved its current prominence. A remarkably rapid development in
interstellar chemistry was precipitated by the discovery of
formaldehyde in the late 1960's made possible by the new radio
observational techniques. A four atom molecule in interstellar
space was indeed a surprise considering that only a short time ear
lier there were still arguments about the existence of the simplest
of all molecules - the hydrogen molecule. The application of
ion-molecule reactions to interstellar cloud chemistry provided a
rich variety of new possibilities which were, however, continuously
under pressure to keep pace with radio-astronomical discoveries of
more and more complex molecules."
