We present the first detections of CH<sub>3</sub>SH, C<sub>3</sub>H<sup>+</sup>, C<sub>3</sub>N, HCOOH, CH<sub>2</sub>CHCN, and H<sub>2</sub>CN in an extragalactic source. Namely the spiral arm of a galaxy located at z = 0.89 on the line of sight to the radio-loud quasar PKS 1830-211. OCS, SO<sub>2</sub>, and NH<sub>2</sub>CN were also detected, raising the total number of molecular species identified in that early time galaxy to 54, not counting isotopologues. The detections were made in absorp ...[more]
