Sphericity and Sphericity Indices. A Non-Mathematical Approach on the Mathematical Basis for Restructuring Stereochemistry
نویسنده
چکیده
Topicity terms for stereochemical relationships (homotopic, enantiotopic, diastereotopic, etc.) and topicity terms for stereochemical attributes (chirotopic and achiotopic) have been combined to discuss the stereochemistry of tetrahedral molecules. Stereochemical discussions due to such combined usage have exhibited complicated features that would cause misunderstanding or confusion. On the other hand, Sphericity terms (homospheric, enantiospheric, and hemispheric), which are based on orbits of ligands (or other objects), have been clarified to provide us with a simpler terminology for such stereochemical discussions. Sphericity indices have been defined and applied to examining the existence of derivatives.

Half-Century Journey from Synthetic Organic Chemistry to Mathematical Stereochemistry through Chemoinformatics
My half-century journey started from synthetic organic chemistry. During the first stage of my journey, my interest in stereochemistry was initiated through the investigation on the participation of steric effects in reactive intermediates, cylophanes, strained heterocycles, and organic compounds for photography. In chemoinformatics as the next stage of the journey, I proposed the concept of im...
متن کاملLinear Sphericity Testing of 3-Connected Single Source Digraphs
It has been proved that sphericity testing for digraphs is an NP-complete problem. Here, we investigate sphericity of 3-connected single source digraphs. We provide a new combinatorial characterization of sphericity and give a linear time algorithm for sphericity testing. Our algorithm tests whether a 3-connected single source digraph with $n$ vertices is spherical in $O(n)$ time.
متن کاملPebble Form Indices As Signatures Of The Depositional Environment Of The Benin Formation Along Atamiri River, Uli, South – Eastern Nigeria
The Benin Formation is well exposed along the Atamiri River, which traverses Uli town, in the Niger Delta Basin of Southeastern Nigeria. Lithologic sections were measured, described and sampled so as to decipher the paleodepositional environment, using an integration of lithofacies data, pebble morphology, grain size and paleocurrent analysis. The lithofacies study suggests that the Benin Forma...
متن کاملComparing Quantitative Morphology of Clasts at Three Landing Sites on Mars: Mars
Background. Much of the sedimentary transport and depositional history of Mars may be recorded in the morphologic characteristics of the individual rocks or particles that make up its sedimentary clast population (defined as a rock fragment or grain resulting from the breakdown of larger rocks or bedrock). Measuring morphology is crucial; it retains the best record of sorting and abrasive effec...
متن کاملInfluence of production variables on the sphericity of melt pellets.
This paper reports the influence of post-melt impeller speed, post-melt processing time, binder concentration and particle size of bulk material on the sphericity of pellets produced by melt pelletization in a high shear mixer. Lactose was used as the bulk material with polyethylene glycol 3000 as a meltable binder. The sphericity of pellets was found to be affected by post-melt impeller speed ...
