Abstract
This review paper presents the results of state of the art Quantum Chemistry calculations in the field of Astrochemistry. It provides selected examples to illustrate the possible contribution of molecular orbital theories to solving a number of problems of astrophysical interest ranging from identification of new molecules to IR emission analysis and rate constants determinations.
