Isotopic molecular abundances are used to interpret Galactic chemical evolution and the properties of interstellar clouds. The isotopic chemistry of carbon plays an important role in the interpretation of these measurements. This paper reviews the recent measurements of the carbon twelve to thirteen ratio across the Galaxy and the isotopic chemistry.
