The possibility that many different diffuse interstellar absorption features may be produced by the same type of absorbing atom in different hydrocarbon matrices on interstellar grains has been examined experimentally. The present study shows that absorption bands due to Na atoms in various hydrocarbon matrices can occur within the wavelength range 5400–5800 Å. A study of the molecules generated from the radiation-induced polymerization of C2H2 at 55 K is also reported. It is shown that C6H6 is an abundant product of this polymerization and may therefore be an important constituent of interstellar grains.
