The radiative association rate coefficients and their temperature dependences have been estimated for several likely interstellar ion-molecule reactions from laboratory collisional association rate data. They include the CH3+ + H2 and CH3+ + H2O reactions, which we suggest lead to CH4 and CH3OH respectively, and the critical association reaction C+ + H2.
