Preface
In modern astronomy and astrophysics, chemistry is becoming increasingly important. Molecules are found everywhere in the universe owing to rapid progress of spectroscopic observations particularly in the radio, infrared, and optical regimes. Exploring chemical compositions of astronomical sources itself is of fundamental importance in understanding evolution of matter in the
