1. Stereochemical topology; 2. Detecting chirality; 3. Chiral moebius ladders and related molecular graphs; 4. Different types of chirality and achirality; 5. Embeddings of complete graphs in 3-space; 6. Rigid and non-rigid symmetries of graphs in 3-space; 7. Topology of DNA.
An undergraduate topology text describing knot theory, 3-dimensional manifolds, and embedded graphs, and the role these play in understanding molecular structures.
'If you are a chemist … looking for applications of low dimensional topology in the natural sciences, this is a book you should own … serves as an excellent introduction to the field for a topologist looking for interesting applications of topology in science. The book is well produced with many useful diagrams and with exercises that range from easy to intriguing. This book is definitely on my 'buy list'.' Stuart Whittington, SIAM Review
