Abstract
Since 1968 radio astronomers have succeeded in identifying more than 50 interstellar molecules in the interstellar gas. Millimeter and submillimeter wave laboratory spectroscopy rapidly became crucial to this success. All of the recent advances in this field exemplify the interaction between developments in laboratory and interstellar measurements. The analysis of molecular dynamics is shown to be necessary for understanding the frequencies and intensities of the spectra observed in both mediums and for extrapolating to other parts of the spectra. Methods of high spectral and spatial resolution in molecular spectroscopy have greatly contributed to our knowledge of the physics, dynamics and chemistry of interstellar molecular clouds.
