We review the theoretical and experimental progresa in the field of co­herent electron emission from simple molecules colliding with energetic charged particles. In particular, we outline the different theoretical ap­ proaches to tackle single ionization of diatomic molecules by impact of heavy ions. Furthermore, comparisons with the experimental measure ments are made. Throughout, we emphasize the phenomenology behind these molecular processes and discuss the advantages and drawbacks of the different theoretical methods.
