Abstract
Most carbon in the Universe is tied up in carbon monoxide or in polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Even so, a vast majority of the molecules detected in various astrophysical media contain at least one carbon atom in them. These could nearly all be classified as hydrocarbons. However, only a fraction of the atoms in the Universe heavier than helium are actually carbon. This review will explore the past astronomical detections of molecules that do not contain carbon and will discuss the present workings and future outlooks of pure, inorganic astrochemistry. Such molecules have bonding structures that are often “atypical,” have notable spectroscopic intensities, and open the door for new chemical insights. Asking novel questions can lead to novel insights, and inorganic astrochemistry provides a strong motivation for asking the most creative chemical questions.
