## Abstract Starting from the concept of a totally flexible molecule, rigidity is introduced by restricting progressively the allowed permutations. Each nonrigid isomer is then characterized by its LonguetβHiggins group β of allowed permutation inversions. For a given β all nonrigidity types corres
Algorithms and computer programs are developed for generating the symmetry elements of nonrigid molecules. These programs are based on the wreath product formalism for the symmetry groups of nonrigid molecules developed by the present author. Several examples are given to illustrate the procedures.
