AbstractThe interstellar medium constitutes a physically and chemically complex component of galaxies and is important in the cycle of matter and the evolution of stars. From various spectroscopic clues we now know that the interstellar medium is rich in organic compounds. However, identifying the exact nature of all these components remains a challenge. In particular the identification of the so-called diffuse band carriers has been alluding astronomers for almost a century.In recent decades, observational, experimental and theoretical advances have rapidly lead to renewed interest in the diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs). This has been instigated partly by their perceived relation to the infrared aromatic emission bands, the UV extinction bump and far-UV rise, and the growing number of (small) organic molecules identified in space.This chapter gives an overview of the observational properties and behaviour of the DIBs, and their presence throughout the Universe. I will highlight recent progress in identifying their carriers and discuss their potential as tracers and probes of (extra)-Galactic ISM conditions.

: The ocean supplies abundant active compounds, including small organic molecules, proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates, with diverse biological functions. The high-value transformation of marine carbohydrates primarily refers to their pharmaceutical, food, and cosmetic applications. However, it is still a big challenge to obtain these marine carbohydrates in well-defined structures. Synthesis is a powerful approach to access marine oligosaccharides, polysaccharide derivatives, and glycomimetics. In this review, we focus on the chemical synthesis of marine acidic carbohydrates with acidic ester groups or uronic acid building blocks including alginate, glycosaminoglycans. Regioselective sulfation using a chemical approach is also highlighted in the synthesis of marine oligosaccharides, as well as the multivalent glycodendrimers and glycopolymers for achieving specific functions. This review summarizes recent advances in the synthesis of marine acidic carbohydrates, as well as their preliminary structure activity relationship (SAR) studies, which establishes a foundation for the development of novel marine carbohydrate-based drugs and functional reagents.
