A general overview of the molecular content in interstellar clouds is reported. We concentrate on the role of dissociative recombination on interstellar chemistry. Recent observations are emphasized both in diffuse and dense clouds environments. Specific suggestions of theoretical and/or experimental studies on branching ratios involved in dissociative recombination experiments are highlighted.
