Abstract

The 3.28 μm feature observed in the diffuse galactic emission and the 2200 Å interstellar extinction feature must have a common source. This requirement rules out graphitic-type PAH molecules such as coronone and tends to favour naturally occurring bi-cyclic ring structures typified by quinoline and its derivatives.
