Abstract.In this paper we prove that a class of multiplier operators on H^R"), that send atoms to molecules boundedly, must satisfy a Hörmander condition. This provides a partial converse to a theorem of Taibleson and Weiss.In [1], Coif man and Weiss began the systematic study of the atomic and molecular structure of Hardy spaces on spaces of homogeneous type. This line of study was continued by Taibleson and Weiss [4] where they provide the details for the molecular decomposition of H''-spaces associated with R" and the unit disk, and show how these decompositions can be used to obtain multiplier theorems. In this paper we will provide a converse to the main multiplier theorem of Taibleson and Weiss for a certain class of multipliers.Let us begin by introducing some notation. We will assume that the reader is familiar with the basic properties of H/'(R"), 0 < p < 1, and its atomic and molecular decompositions. If 5 denotes a set, then £s will denote the indicator function of S. \/p -1/2 < t/n, Tm sends (p,2, t -l)-atoms boundedly to (p,2,[n(\/p -1)], t/n -l/2)-molecules; and hence, Tm is a bounded operator on H^R"). The purpose of this work is to provide a converse to this result for homogeneous and
