The possibility that complex hydrocarbons can be produced in dense interstellar clouds by ion-molecule gas phase reactions is considered in detail. Steady-state calculations indicate that the observed abundances of species such as C4H cannot be reproduced via gas phase models unless a large amount of atomic carbon (C I) is present. With an assumed C I fractional abundance of 0.00001, the present calculations can reproduce the fractional abundance of C4H observed in TMC 1. Thus, the presence of C I, itself not readily explicable via standard ion-molecular treatments, appears to be necessary to explain the abundances of complex hydrocarbon species.
