Notes:
Isomerization of octahedral complexes XY6, by a mechanism known as diagonal twist (in which two ligands in cis positions, one to another, exchange sites) is considered. Construction of the corresponding isomerization graph is outlined (reported before by Balaban) and the problem of determining its symmetry is considered. Alternative routes for deducing the order of the automorphism group are described. The group is confirmed to be S6 and representative symmetry permutations (one for each of the 11 classes of S6) are shown. Alternative pictorial representations of the 15-vertex graph are also shown.
