It is pointed out that in contrast to neutral-neutral reactions, which are mainly endothermic, most of the ion-neutral reactions in interstellar space are exothermic. The energy released by a reaction of the latter type is less than the dissociation energy of the molecule. It is thought that reactions of this type may play a dominant role in the interstellar medium. The information on the rate coefficients of polyatomic ion-neutral reactions is meager. A semiclassical approach is adopted here for calculating the rate coefficient and its temperature dependence. The coefficients of certain important ion-neutral reactions in the interstellar medium calculated by this method are given.
