Symmetry and Combinatorial Enumeration in Chemistry

This book is written to introduce a new approach to stereochemical problems and to combinatorial enumerations in chemistry. This approach is based on group theory, but different from conventional ways adopted by most textbooks on chemical group theory. The difference sterns from their starting points: conjugate subgroups and conjugacy classes. The conventional textbooks deal with linear representations and character ta­ bles of point groups. This fact implies that they lay stress on conjuga...
