Abstract
In this paper we discuss the relevance, and possible scientific gains, which can be acquired from studying circumstellar molecular spectra t oward evolved stars. Where can we expect circumstellar molecular spect ra, why would we want to study these spectra, which molecules might be present, and what can we learn from these studies? We present an over view of reported detections, and discuss some of the results.
