Abstract

We present the concept of the topological symmetry group as a way to analyze the symmetries of non-rigid molecules. Then we characterize all of the groups which can occur as the topological symmetry group of an embedding of a complete graph of the form $K_{4r+3}$ in $S^3$.

Keywords: Topological symmetry groups, molecular symmetries, complete graphs..
