Coordination sequences of periodic structures are rational via automata theory
1Institute of Informatics, University of Warsaw, Poland.
Abstract:
The conjecture of Grosse-Kunstleve et al. [(1996), Acta Cryst. A52, 879-889], that coordination sequences of periodic structures in n-dimensional Euclidean space are rational, is proved. This has been recently proven by Nakamura et al. [(2021), Acta Cryst. A77, 138-148]; however, the proof presented here is a straightforward application of classic techniques from automata theory.

Structural Isomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula. Structural isomerism of coordination compounds can be divided into two subcategories, the linkage isomers and coordination-sphere isomers.
Linkage isomers occur when the coordination compound contains a ligand that can bind to the transition metal center through two different atoms. For example, the CN− ligand can bind through the carbon atom or through the nitrogen atom. Similarly, SCN− can...
