A Topological Account of Chirality

Graph invariants may differentiate structural isomers but are inappropriate to account for stereoisomerism and to distinguish between chiral structures. This work is an attempt to address this problem. A chiral function F satisfying condition F(D) = −F(L), where d and l denote enantiomers of the sam...

Summary:Graph invariants may differentiate structural isomers but are inappropriate to account for stereoisomerism and to distinguish between chiral structures. This work is an attempt to address this problem. A chiral function F satisfying condition F(D) = −F(L), where d and l denote enantiomers of the same structure, has been applied in combination with Randić's index 1χv. The resulting index χc was used to explain the variance in thin-layer chromatographic retention indices.
