The number of molecules detected at radio wavelengths in envelopes around red giants stands presently at 36. Among these OH and CO have proven to be the most useful for the study of the physical characteristics of a circumstellar envelope. The mass loss rate of the central star can be relatively accurately estimated and it appears possible to trace its evolution with time. Also fascinating objects in transition from the red giant phase to the planetary nebula phase are becoming observationally accessible.
