Abstract
A new statistical theory of ion-molecule association reaction rate coefficients has been formulated and found to give good agreement with three-body association rate coefficients studied in the laboratory in the temperature range 100-300 K (Herbst 1979a). The theory indicates that certain radiative association reactions proceed rapidly at low interstellar temperatures to produce complex interstellar molecules, as suggested by Smith and Adams (1978).
