In this paper we summarize some of the most salient observations made recently on the organic molecules and other compounds of the biogenic elements present in the interstellar medium and in the primitive bodies of the solar system. They include the discovery of the first phosphorus molecular species in dense interstellar clouds, the presence of complex organic ions in the dust and gas phase of Halley's coma, the finding of unusual, probably presolar, deuterium-hydrogen ratios in the amino acids of carbonaceous chondrites, and new developments on the chemical evolution of Titan, the primitive Earth, and early Mars. Some of the outstanding problems concerning the synthesis of organic molecules on different cosmic bodies are also discussed from an exobiological perspective.
在本文中，我们总结了近期对星际介质和太阳系原始天体中存在的生物成因元素的有机分子及其他化合物所做的一些最显著观测结果。这些观测结果包括在致密星际云中首次发现磷分子物种，在哈雷彗星彗发的尘埃和气相中存在复杂有机离子，在碳质球粒陨石的氨基酸中发现异常的、可能是前太阳的氘氢比，以及土卫六、原始地球和早期火星化学演化方面的新进展。我们还从外星生物学角度讨论了不同宇宙天体上有机分子合成的一些突出问题。
