Abstract
A general scheme is proposed for the synthesis of large molecules in dense interstellar clouds based on rates of ion-molecule reactions measured in our laboratory and elsewhere. C--C bond formation is dominated by reactions involving the must abundant ions C/sup +/, CH/sub 3//sup +/, C/sub 2/H/sub 2//sup +/, and C/sub 2/H/sub 3//sup +/ and the most abundant neutrals C/sub 2/H/sub 2/ and CH/sub x/, where 1
