| Abstract: |
Experiments simulating the processing of various carbon-based materials under diffuse and dense cloud conditions by UV radiation indicate that such materials will be efficiently dehydrogenated in interstellar space. How this behaviour may cause the observed reduction of the 3.4 μm band in dense interstellar clouds is discussed. |
