Extract

This article is an exploration of some common ground between network theory in mathematics and isomerism in chemistry. As with all interdisciplinary studies, it is necessary to begin by identifying technical terms across the boundary between the two subjects. Once that has been done, the diagrams drawn by the chemist are interpreted in the language of geometry, and links are established between results in the two subjects.
