| Abstract
| - The OH distribution in the Sgr A Complex has been observed in the 1612-, 1665-, 1667- and 1720-MHz OH transitions with the Very Large Array (VLA) in BnA configuration. Maps are presented with a channel velocity resolution of about 9 km s -1 and with angular resolutions of $4\arcsec\times 3\arcsec$. Some clear results are highlighted here, such as absorption from the Circumnuclear Disk (CND) and the OH-Streamer inside the CND near Sgr $\rm {A}^{*}$, strong absorption towards most of the eastern and western parts of the Sgr A East shell, lack of absorption towards both Sgr A West and the compact H ii-regions to the east of Sgr A East, and double-lobed structure of the High Negative Velocity Gas (HNVG) oriented northeast and southwest of Sgr $\rm {A}^{*}$, and finally compact, point-like maser emission in all four transitions, in particular a 1720-MHz maser at -132 km s -1 in the CND as counterpart to a 1720-MHz maser at +132 km s -1 in the CND.
