Abstract
Local coordinate systems are introduced into open sets of topological spaces, defined for the nuclear configuration space R of polyatomic nuclear systems. The open sets are directly related to common chemical concepts, such as chemical structure, reaction mechanism, and stability of reaction paths. A topological model of molecules and chemical reactions is a generalization of the geometrical model, and is particularly suitable to account for the nonrigid nature of chemical structures. The coordinate neighborhoods defined on R and on its submanifolds represent the extent and natural limits for partial analyses of multidimensional potential surfaces.
