Ever since molecular species have been discovered in space in the 30's and early 40's by the optical identification of CH, CH+ and CN in absorption towards nearby hot stars, the question of molecule formation has accompanied the observational efforts. The purpose of this paper is to point out presently existing observational constraints and the limits they may cast on our knowledge of the interstellar medium. The need for reliable atomic and molecular data will be emphasized with some specific examples.
