Abstract
The formation of interstellar diatomic molecules is discussed from both a semiclassical and a quantum mechanical point of view. Extensive new laboratory data are applied to the problem, and rate coefficients are calculated. Some well studied interstellar clouds are used as examples of the predictions of the molecular densities resulting from the formation and destruction routes considered.
