Recent observational data are summarized on molecular species in diffuse interstellar clouds, and a comprehensive list of all species detected or sought is included. The discussion is focussed on the use of molecular observations to determine physical conditions in clouds, and on important species which provide constraints on cloud chemistry models. Directions for new research are suggested, including intensive work on the unidentified diffuse bands, which may have a molecular origin.
