Abundance relationships between the interstellar NH molecule and other diatomic species are presented based on 10 currently available sightlines (two of them taken from the literature). Spacial correlations between column densities of diatomic molecules suggest that the NH molecule is more closely related to neutral species than it is to CH + .
