Rules on chiral and achiral molecular transformations. II

摘要

The properties of chiral and achiral transformations between mirror images of labeled, partially labeled and unlabeled n-dimensional point sets are investigated. Mislow's Label Paradox of three-dimensional chirality-preserving and chirality-abandoning molecular transformations of tetrahedra is generalized to simplexes of all higher dimensions n, and a sufficient and necessary partial labeling condition is given for fully chiral interconversion paths of mirror images of chiral n-dimensional simplexes.
