Abstract
The procedure devised by Dirac for the canonical quantization of systems described by degenerate lagrangians is used to construct the hamiltonian for molecules interacting with the electromagnetic field. The hamiltonian obtained is expressed in terms of the gauge invariant field strengths and the electric and magnetic multipole moments of the molecules. The Coulomb gauge is introduced but other gauge conditions could be used. Finally, a physical interpretation of the unitary transformation that may be used to generate the multipole hamiltonian is given.
