Popis: ISO-SWS observations of the highly obscured young stellar object W 33A reveal two broad absorption features centered at 7.24 and 7.40 mu m The position and width of these features indicates that they are due to the XH bending mode (X= C, N, or O) of molecules in the solid state. Comparison to interstellar ice analogs shows that the 7.24 mu m band can be well matched by solid formic acid (HCOOH), while the 7.40 mu m band can be fitted both by the formate ion (HCOO-) and acetaldehyde (CH3HCO). The laboratory spectra reveal additional strong features of these molecules which should make a more definite identification straightforward.
