Abstract
A chemical model developed for the purpose of investigating complex molecule formation has been applied to conditions typical of the cold dark clouds TMC-1 and L183. Excellent agreement between theory and observation was found for the time-independent calculations. Time-dependent models have also been studied. Due to the high CI abundance at early times (≳ 105 yr.) the hydrocarbon species are overproduced with respect to their observed values. Models which include the adsorption of gas-phase species onto grains have also been investigated. In this case essentially everything is removed from the gas on a time-scale of 106 yr for a normal gas:dust ratio.
