Abstract

A novel algorithm for the enumeration and display of the Kekulé structures in conjugated hydrocarbons is proposed. It is based on counting paths in the binary tree generated from the reduced graph of a molecule. The performance of the computer program, which is the implementation of the algorithm, is discussed.
