The simplest molecule, H2, is also the most abundant. Other known molecules include simple groupings such as carbon monoxide (CO), ammonia (NH3) and water (H2O); simple organic molecules such as ethyl alcohol (CH3CH2OH), formaldehyde (H2CO), and acetic acid (CH3COOH); ...

Thus the most abundant molecule in the ISM, carrying most of the mass and playing a key role in excitation, thermal balance, and gas-phase chemistry, is virtually invisible to direct observation. As a consequence, most of what we know about interstellar molecules comes from observations of so-called;

The thought had already entered astronomers' minds that molecules might be detected in space using radio waves. Sure enough, in 1968, the first radio lines from interstellar molecules were discovered, by astronomer Charles H. Townes of the University ... Hydrogen is the simplest and most abundant element in the universe,

Thus, only a few of the most abundant interstellar molecules, such as H2 and CN have been detected from their visible or ultraviolet spectrum. ... The vast majority of interstellar molecules have been observed using radiotelescopes. These operate much like a standard optical telescope, imaging the electromagnetic radiation...

The large majority of the species thus synthesized were found unreactive towards H2 and CO, the most abundant interstellar molecules. The P containing ions could also dissociatively recombine with electrons to produce their corresponding neutrals.
