Scientific paper

The observations of formaldehyde in diffuse interstellar clouds, together with estimates of its loss rates, are used to infer the necessary formation rate for formaldehyde in these clouds. None of the gas-phase formaldehyde formation mechanisms so far proposed can account for the observed abundances in diffuse clouds. Collisions of C(+) ions with small oxide grains, in a previously proposed mechanism, may, however, provide a sufficiently rapid pathway.
