Chemical models of the inner circumstellar envelope of a typical carbon-rich AGB star are presented. The effect of pulsation-driven shocks on the gas close to the stellar photosphere is considered. The chemistry of dust condensation nuclei formation is described and applied to the gas layers close to the star. We derive formation yields for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) species and their dimers and discuss their role in the condensation of dust.
