Enumerating Molecules What are the Uses

The last genetic operation is selection. Elements of the population are selected to form the next generation with a problem-specific fitness function. Taking the simple example of searching for the structure having the highest boiling, the fitness function can be, for instance, the Wiener index of the structure. 

The combination of counting series and enumerating algorithms described previously in this chapter has allowed researchers to generate isomer 

Alkanes and alkane-like substances have captured the interest of researchers in isomer enumeration for a long time because of their commercial importance. For example, Henze and Blair published the first isomer enumeration of alkanes in 1931. Here we provide, for reference, tables that list the number of isomers of alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, and stereoalkanes (Table 4), ketones and esters (Table 5), and primary, secondary, and tertiary alcohols (Table 6) up to 25 carbon atoms. 

Although the alkane and alkane-like substances are the most important, no series of compounds has received as much interest in generating isomer series as has the polyhexes, with much being done on various classes of benze-noids. For example, isomer series are available for benzenoids of a variety of classes, including peri-condensed, cata-condensed, essentially disconnected,helicenes, ° resonant sextets, quinones, coronenes, and pyrenes.Recently, with the aid of a new lattice

But what is perhaps more interesting is that, at the time of his most important activity, Barriol enumerated the techniques used in the theoretical laboratory of Nancy to solve the problem of three-dimensional structural studies on isolated molecules, static studies on associated solutions, and dynamic studies of associations. They were five techniques explicitly mentioned by Barriol, four experimental and one theoretical. Theoretical calculations are situated on the same level as the four experimental techniques, which included dielectric polarization, nuclear magnetic resonance, microwave spectrography, and dielectric relaxation.
