It is generally believed that the formation of these molecules involves gas phase reactions between ions and neutral molecules. The study of organic gas phase ion-molecule chemistry, of which interstellar organic chemistry is just one example, has made remarkable progress in the last decade, with important implications for other branches of organic chemistry. Yet there are some important conceptual points about these reactions which often seem to prevent their incorporation into the general body of organic knowledge. In this lecture I would like to illustrate these unique features and to explain why, in spite of them, gas phase ion reactions usually closely resemble those in solution. At the same time I would like to show how the particular properties of gas phase ion reactions make them especially suitable for the synthesis of organic molecules in the unusual environment of space.
