We present large scale 9'x 27'(25 pc x 70 pc) far-IR observations around Sgr B2 using the Long-wavelength spectrometer (LWS) on board the Infrared Space Observatory (ISO). The spectra are dominated by the strong continuum emission of dust, the widespread molecular absorption of light hydrides (OH, CH and H2O) and the fine structure lines of [NII], [NIII], [OIII], [CII] and [OI]. The molecular richness in the outer layers of Sgr B2 is probed by the ISO-LWS Fabry-Perot (35 km s^-1) detections towards Sgr B2(M), where more that 70 lines from 15 molecular and atomic species are observed at high signal to noise ratio.

    A comprehensive review arguing that the chemically rich cores TMC-1 CP and L1544 are representative molecular-cloud laboratories, and that complex organic molecule production is largely insensitive to metallicity.
