Summary

The massive giant molecular cloud (GMC) complex Westerhout 43 (W43) and its subcores are considered, in particular G29.96. HMSF is evident in clusters and the impact of disk winds and outflows on the observable chemistry made clear. Modelling of the hot core COMs abundances matches observations for many key species observed in both this and other Galactic sources. The interaction between an HII region and an associated hot dense core is exemplified in G29.96, in spite of the evident complexity of physical conditions in the surrounding region. As in all studies made through the lens of molecular emission, astronomers are able to probe the physical conditions through trace chemical emissions.
