The first results based on SEST observations of CO and other molecules in the Magellanic Clouds are presented. The properties of the CO emission, CO isotopic ratios and the conversion factor between CO emission and H2 column density are discussed. Abundances of detected molecules are estimated and compared with those in Galactic molecular clouds.
