Abstract
A class of aromatic molecules with fused benzene rings is considered. It is characterized by one, two or three straight chains of benzene rings meeting at one ring. The group-theoretical problem of symmetry in terms of Γ Kek χ Kek is solved; explicit formulas are given for the symmetry groupsD 3h andC 2v.
Zusammenfassung
Es wird eine Klasse aromatischer Moleküle behandelt, die dadurch charakterisiert ist, daß eine, zwei oder drei gerade Ketten von Benzolringen an einem Ring aufeinandertreffen. Das gruppentheoretische Problem der Symmetrie ist in Form von Γ Kek und χ Kek gelöst; für die SymmetriegruppenD 3h undC 2v werden explizite Formeln angegeben.
