Abstract
As seen in Chapter 2, topology variety increases with increasing multicyclic graphs: e.g., dicyclic, tricyclic, tetracyclic. Multicyclic graphs are classified into spiro, bridge, fused, and hybrid types [1]. In this chapter, we present graph theory definitions of the various multicyclic graphs and characterize each type via construction and decomposition. The characterizations may suggest polymer synthesis procedures. See Chapter 7 for the synthesis of multicyclic polymers.
