Exploration of the accessible chemical space of acyclic alkanes.

Saturated acyclic alkanes show steric strain if they are highly branched and, in extreme cases, fall apart rapidly at room temperature. Consequently, attempts to count the number of isomeric forms for a given molecular formula that neglect this physical consideration will inevitably overestimate the...
