The set of coset representations, CR's, of a group
G, {
G(/
G1),
G(/
G2), ...,
G(/
Gs)}, where
G1 = {I},
Gs =
G, the marks,
mij of subgroup
Gj on a given
G(/
Gi), 1
i s, and the
subduction of
G(/
Gi) by
Gj,
j i,
G(/
Gi)
Gj, are essential tools for the enumeration of stereoisomers and their classification according totheir subgroup symmetry (Fujita, S.
Symmetry and Combinatorial Enumeration in Chemistry; Springer-Verlag: Berlin, 1991). In this paper, each
G(/
Gi) is modeled by a set of colored equivalent configurations(called homomers),
H = {
h1,
h2, ...,
hr},
r =
G/
Gi, such that a given homomer,
hk, remains invariant
onlyunder all
g Gi, where
g is an element of symmetry. The resulting homomers generate the correspondingset of marks almost by inspection. The symmetry relations among a set
H can be conveniently stored in aCayley-like diagram (Chartrand, G.
Graphs as Mathematical Models; Prindle, Weber and SchmidtIncorporated: Boston, MA, 1977; Chapter 10), which is a complete digraph on
r vertices so that an arcfrom vertex
vi to vertex
vj is colored with the set
Sij of symmetry elements such that
hi hj,
gij Sij. Inaddition, each vertex,
vi, is associated with a loop that is colored with a set
Sii so that
gii Sii stabilizes
hi.A Cayley-like diagram of a given CR,
G[
G(/
Gi)], leads to graphical generation of
G(/
Gi)
Gj for all valuesof
j and also to all
mij's. Several group-theoretical results are rederived and/or became more envisagablethrough this modeling. The approach is examplified using
C2,
C3,
D2,
T, and
D3 point groups and is appliedto trishomocubane, a molecule that belongs to the
D3 point group.
