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

Abstract
The main purpose of this paper is to show that any embedding of K~7~ in threeβdimensional 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.

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 th
