Research on LIDB-initiated chemical reactions has been triggered again recently by the advent of nanotechnologies. The systematic part of this contribution describes the laser-plasma-chemical behaviour of simple inorganic gases and their mixtures, and metallic and organic vapours. The strongest motivation for the studying laser-spark chemistry comes from the planetary sciences, where laser sparks have been used as a laboratory model of high-energy-density phenomena in planetary atmospheres. This contribution is primarily focused on the laser-plasma chemistry of homogeneous gases, but chemical consequences of LIDB in liquids and on liquid-solid and gas-solid interfaces are also briefly reviewed. Particular processes responsible for the chemical action of a laser spark are identified and discussed.
