Abstract
Abstract The symmetry of a pair of two chair-forms of cyclohexane is represented by the pseudo-point group of order 24. Preparation of the mark table of the group shows the twelve substitution positions of the pair to be governed by the coset representation (/Cs). After the calculation of subduction of the (/Cs), cyclohexane derivatives are combinatorially enumerated by the USCI (unit-subduced-cycle-index) approach. A generating-function method and the elementary superposition theorem are used, giving values itemized with respect to molecular formulas and subsymmetries of . Since pseudo-point groups can be classified into iso- and anisoenergetic groups as well as into achiral and chiral groups, four categories (isoenergetic-achiral, isoenergetic-chiral (Type II), anisoenergetic-achiral (Type III), and anisoenergetic-chiral (Type IV)) are generated. The isoenergetic-achiral case is further subdivided into two cases (Type I and I′). Several pairs are illustrated and discussed in the light of this classification. The concept of chronality is also discussed.
