Abstract

Spectral surveys provide the only way to determine the full molecular inventory of a source and hence to build a comprehensive view of the state of the molecular gas and its role in the star formation process. Systematic studies have opened the possibility of using chemistry as a diagnostic tool for star burst and AGN activities in the highly obscured galactic nuclear regions.
