✦ Synopsis

This paper presents a knot theoretic approach to the study of molecular graphs. It provides examples of molecular knots and links as well as other topologically complex molecules. The paper discusses various topological problems and theorems which were motivated by questions in chemistry. Some of these results have direct applications to the analysis of molecular structures, while other results, though arising out of questions about chemistry, are purely topological in nature.

## Abstract The main purpose of this paper is to show that any embedding of __K~7~__ in three‐dimensional euclidean space contains a knotted cycle. By a similar but simpler argument, it is also shown that any embedding of __K~6~__ contains a pair of disjoint cycles which are homologically linked.

We give a spatial representation of the complete graph K n which contains exactly ( n 6 ) Hopf links consisting of pairs of disjoint 3-cycles, where ( n 6 ) is the minimum number of pairs of disjoint 3-cycles forming a non-split link contained in any spatial representation of K n . Furthermore, we s
