Journal of Mathematical Chemistry Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

The classical “Harary-Read numbers” for catafusenes (catacondensed simply connected polyhexes) are reproduced without using generating functions. A complete (mathematical) solution is given for the distribution of these numbers over the different symmetry groups to which the catafusenes belong.
