Abstract

We investigate the possibility of forming achiral knottings of polyhedral (3-connected) graphs whose minimal embeddings lie in the genus-one torus. Various analyses to show that all examples are chiral. This result suggests a simple route to forming chiral molecules via templating on a toroidal substrate.
