Editorial Reviews

The authors provide a graph theoretical basis for what chemists do empirically in the laboratory when they elucidate the structure of a large molecule. … I have worked in this area of research myself and appreciate the clarity and thoroughness of the presentation of this topic. I recommend it to any computational chemist, NMR spectroscopist, or biochemist who is working on determining molecular structure.” (Anthony J. Duben, Computing Reviews, June, 2018)​
