Over 300 different chemical species have been reported in space. Many of these species are relatively complex organic molecules. Increasingly, experimental and computational evidence supports the idea that the limits of complexity of chemistry in space are driven by chemical processes occurring in and on solid materials. This presentation will look at the application of surface science tools to exploring aspects of the physics and chemistry of processes on surfaces which are crucial to understanding the evolution of that complexity and linking it to our increasing understanding of remote environments.
