Abstract

Topological representations for the intramolecular isomerizations of octahedral complexes are given. The number of dimensions which have to be used for this description depends on the complexity of the chemical system and becomes too great for some of the most general cases to be useful in practice. Therefore, another model is given, where the chemical transformations are represented by permutations of structures located at the edges of triangular faces of a hypertetrahedron.

Zusammenfassung

Für die intramolekulare Isomerisierung oktaedrischer Komplexe werden topologische Darstellungen angegeben. Die zur Beschreibung notwendige Dimension wird für kompliziertere chemische Systeme zu gro\, um von praktischem Nutzen zu sein. Deshalb wird ein anderes Modell beschrieben, bei dem die chemischen Umwandlungen durch Permutationen von Strukturen dargestellt werden, die an den Ecken von Dreiecksseiten eines Hypertetraeders lokalisiert sind.

Le nombre de dimensions nécessaires à cette description dépend de la complexité du système chimique et devient trop grande pour certains des cas les plus généraux pour Être utile en pratique. Cependant, on donne un autre modèle où les transformations chimiques sont représentées par des permutations de structures placées aux arÊtes des faces triangulaires d'un hypertétraèdre.
