[seqfan] Re: Giving a mathematical definition to A280001

[Natan Consigli]

The drawings are three dimensional. In the PDF attached to A280001 there
are molecules with a dashed and wedge bonds which in chemistry generally
mean that they point inwards and outwards respectively.
I'll also attach the link as required by the moderator:
