Scientific paper

Numerical models of the chemistry of multi-fluid MHD shocks in diffuse molecular clouds have been calculated; 36 species were studied obtaining column densities and line profiles; special attention was given to CH(+) , CH and OH production. Particular attention has been given to J-type shocks, which have thus far been unexplored, for densities in the range of 15 cm(-3) <= n_H <= 50 cm(-3) with molecular hydrogen abundance of 0.2 <= H/H_2 <= 5. Excitation of H_2 in the shock was studied with predicted column densities of rotationally excited levels. Implications for the production of interstellar CH(+) will be discussed.
