Given the adjacency matrix of a molecule, how can I get a graphical representation using only open source software?
In Huckel Method, by numbering the sp2 carbons in a molecule with conjugated double bonds, we can assemble its secular determinant in a form similar to the adjacency matrix of a graph. Taking trans-...

Types of Discrete molecular models
It is often assumed in cheminformatics that molecules with similar physical structure tend to have similar chemical properties [1].
Based on this, our group has used discrete graphs as a model for the ...
