Abstract

The existence of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) astronomically is well accepted, but the specific molecular forms observed remain uncertain. To better understand the molecular structures which may be present along a given sightline, the $3.0-3.6{\mu}m$ region is modelled with careful consideration given to the underlying sub-features arising from specific structures within emitting molecules.
