Scientific paper

In this paper we briefly review some of the key problems in the study of the extragalactic chemistry of nuclear starbursts. We will discuss the relevance of large-scale shocks in the processing of the ISM during a massive star formation episode. We present the results from a high-resolution survey searching for emission of the SiO molecule among a sample of prototypical starbursts, including NGC 253, M 82 and IC 342. We end by emphasizing what would be the future contributions of HIFI to the study of the chemistry of molecular gas in the nuclei of starbursts.
