Abstract:
An isomer enumeration program written in a symbolic manipulation language and incorporating an efficient algorithm1 based on Pólya's theorem is applied to a number of molecules of interest for organic chemists: acenaphthylene, anthracene, azulene, benzene, chrysene, corannulene, coronene, cubane, cyclopropane to cyclohexane, dibenzo[2.2]paracyclophane, C20-[5]-fullerane (dodecahedrane), C24-[4,6]-fullerane, C36-[5,6]-fullerene, C60-[5,6]-fullerene, as-indacene, s-indacene, naphthalene, pentalene, perylene, phenanthrene, prismane, [5]-prismane. [6]-prismane, pyrene, tetrahedrane, triphenylene, triptycene and twistane. The numbers of enantiomeric pairs and achiral derivatives are listed whenever induced chirality by substitution is possible. A discussion of inositols and their respective oligomers is included.
