Abstract

We briefly review the formation of pion-mediated heavy-light exotic molecules with both charm and bottom, under the general strictures of chiral and heavy quark symmetries. The charm isosinglet exotic molecules with JPC=1++J^{PC}=1^{++} binds, which we identify as the reported neutral X(3872)X(3872). The bottom isotriplet exotic with JPC=1+J^{PC}=1^{+-} binds, and is identified as a mixed state of the reported charged exotics Zb+(10610)Z^+_b(10610) and Zb+(10650)Z^+_b(10650). The bound bottom isosinglet molecule with JPC=1++J^{PC}=1^{++} is a possible neutral Xb(10532)X_b(10532) to be observed.
