We review the properties of hot molecular cores with specific reference to chemical modelling. While most theoretical modelling has been generic, we discuss models for two specific sources, G34.3+0.15 and W3 (H2O). We show that the hot core gas in both these regions has an age of 5 103 — 104 yrs and that the abundances of many molecules are consistent with formation in the gas-phase following evaporation of simple molecular ices from the grains. We end with a discussion of current problems and future directions.
