Abstract

A molecular graph is the graph of a molecule in which the vertices are atoms and edges are chemical bonds. We review the recent results on computing symmetry of series of armchair polyhex, zig-zag polyhex and C4C8(R/S) nanotubes and nanotori. The topological properties of these nanostructures are also investigated.
