The 3 micron spectrum of the galactic center source IRS 7 is compared to a spectrum obtained on the deuterium-rich organic polymer extracted from the Orgueil carbonaceous meteorite. The almost perfect match between the two spectra in the 3.4 μm region suggests that the chemical composition of the interstellar organic matter resembles that of the meteoritic macromolecule.
