Interstellar chemical reactivity forms complex organic molecules implying different intermediates. In this mini review, reactions arising in/on interstellar ices are presented. These ices are a place where molecules are formed and where they can evolve under thermal and nonthermal effects. We present in this paper different intermediates that have been detected in experimental simulations of interstellar ices. Ionic, neutral, and radical intermediates have been characterized by different means allowing the building of an ice chemical network explaining their formation.
