A discussion is presented of the chemistry of quiescent molecular clouds, and the effects of the presence of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon molecules and of cosmic-ray induced ultraviolet photons are examined. A comparison is made with the chemistry occurring in molecular clouds that are subjected to shocks and the differences between dissociative and non-dissociative shocks are described. The changes in composition caused by intense cosmic ray fluxes or intense ultraviolet radiation fields are explored.
