In this review, I will discuss the recent progress made in areas related to the physical and chemical conditions of the primordial gas. First, the production of molecules in the post-recombination era will be presented: molecules are important as they provide the cooling necessary for the collapse of the first objects. Then, the formation and abundances of the most important molecules are described for various cosmological models. Special attention is devoted to the derivation of reliable cooling functions of H2 and HD to be used in simulations of first structure formation. Finally, I will summarize the results of recent multidimensional numerical simulations of structure formation and fragmentation that are shedding light on typical mass scales and initial conditions for the first stars.
