Kekulé Structures in Benzenoid Hydrocarbons

This text is an attempt to outline the basic facts concerning Kekul€ structures in benzenoid hydrocarbons: their history, applications and especially enumeration. We further pOint out the numerous and often quite remarkable connections between this topic and various parts of combinatorics and discrete mathematics. Our book is primarily aimed toward organic and theoretical chemists interested in the enume­ ration of Kekule structures of conjugated hydrocarbons as well as to scientists workin...
