Abstract
This review introduces the present status of interstellar chemistry and shows why various carbon-chain molecules occupy a key position among hundred or more interstellar molecules so far identified. Then, several series of sulfur-bearing carbon-chain molecules such as C n S, HC n S, C n S2, C n OS, and C n O2 are reviewed especially by paying attention to their generation and spectroscopic characterization in the laboratory.Keywords
