Aromatic features at 3.3, 6.2, 7.7, 8.6, 11.3 μm are observed in proto-planetary nebulae (PPNe) as well as in PNe and H ii regions. Aliphatic features at 3.4 and 6.9 μm are also observed; however, these features are often stronger in PPNe than in PNe. These observations suggest an evolution in the features from simple molecules (C2H2) in AGB stars to aliphatics in PPNe to aromatics in PNe. In the same carbon-rich PPNe, a strong, broad, unidentified 21 μm emission feature has been found. We will present recent observations of the aromatic, aliphatic, and 21 μm emission features, along with C2H2 (13.7 μm) and a new feature at 15.8 μm, and discuss correlations among them and other properties of these PPNe.
