Symmetry and Combinatorial Enumeration in Chemistry /

Show other versions (1)

Understanding the concepts of stereochemistry, prochirality, and topicity is crucial for chemists in all fields. Shinsaku Fujita presents chemical group theory differently from conventional textbooks. The author's approach emphasizes conjugate subgroups to solve discrete stereochemical problems...
