Abstract
We study in the framework of a constituent quark model the possible contributions of molecular structures to the XYZ charmonium like states. We analyze simultaneously the structures and the possible molecular components in a formalism which allows us to treat channels below and above thresholds. The only molecular state found in the sector correspond to the X(3872). Molecular resonances also appear with other quantum numbers. So, the so called Y(3940) and the X(3915) are suggested to be charmonium states. In the sector we also found significant contributions of the molecular structures which can affect the phenomenology.
