Since the first detection of OH molecules in external galaxies, in 1971, hydroxyl observations have led to several detections of absorption lines in extragalactic systems. Though more seldom, OH maser emission has been observed in the 1667 and 1665 MHz main lines in NGC 253 and in the 1667 MHz line in M82. More recently, very powerful masers have been observed in IC 4553, NGC 3690 and Mrk 231.
