We have developed comprehensive models, based on the New Standard Model reaction dataset, for the gas-phase chemistry of translucent clouds. These models predict satisfactorily the abundances of 34 of the 38 molecular species observed in both translucent and cold dense clouds. With 3 additional reactions, the models also appear able to explain diffuse cloud abundances.
