A substantial fraction of the known astronomical molecules harbor the second-row heavy elements silicon, phosphorus and sulfur. Rich in such molecules are the circumstellar shells of late-type stars (in particular IRC+10216) but some are also found in high-mass star-forming regions. Over the last few years we have been working on the characterization of transient molecules of this category using Fourier transform microwave and free-space millimeter wave techniques as well as high-level quantum chemical calculations at the coupled-cluster level of theory. These joined efforts have led to the first detection of several new species in the gas phase including H_2SiS, HPSi, HPS, OSiS, HOSO^+ and several more which will be described in some detail.
