Abstract
Various sorts of isomer enumeration problems are addressed in the context of polycarboranes, with special illustrative focus on the case of dicarboranes, for which then various numerical results are given. A systematic and general Pólya-theoretic methodology is used to make the computations, including some new techniques being applicable to a wide range of nano-structures built from a framework of like local subunits.
