1. The word "stereoisomer" was used in our previous publications in the broader sense of stereochemically nonsuperimposable structures. Strictly speaking, stereoisomers have the same atom-to-atom connections but different, nonsuperimposable shapes (i.e., different arrangements in space). Hence. the different "structural isomers" (with different atom-to-atom connectivities) studied here are best considered as "positional isomers" or "constitutional isomers". In this sense, "positional isomers" are structural isomers with the same set of atoms occupying different positions of a polyhedral framework.
