Abstract

Graph theory provides an elegant and natural representation of molecular symmetry and the resulting group expressed in terms of permutations is isomorphic to the permutation-inversion group of Longuet-Higgins. In this paper, using the group theory package GAP, we compute the automorphism group of the Euclidean graph of benzenoid chains.
