Zusammenfassung:We present an overview of the interstellar medium, including physical and chemical conditions, spectroscopic observations, and current challenges in characterizing interstellar chemistry. Laboratory studies of ion-atom reactions, including experimental approaches and instrumentation, are described. We also tabulate and discuss comprehensive summaries of ion-neutral reactions involving hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen atoms that have been studied since Sablier and Rolando's 1993 review.
