    • It is a common notion that two isomeric structures are considered distinguishable only if they are separated by an energy barrier significantly higher than RT. If the barrier separating two isomers is lower than RT, then they are in fact indistinguishable from each other, and the correct approach is to consider the symmetry number of the most symmetric among the energetically indistinguishable structures see the discussion about the symmetry number of linear alkanes

    • To avoid circular arguments that justify the direct count method on the basis of the symmetry number method and vice versa, we wish to remark that the statistical factor 4 for the equilibrium in eq 11 can be also obtained by the following reasoning. Let us envisage a stochastic process in which bodi the reactants and products are generated by sequential extraction of a couple of atoms from a large pool of A and B atoms present in equal amounts. The probability of extracting either an A or a B atom is 0.5. The formation of A2 requires two consecutive extractions of A with a total probability of 0.25. Analogously, the formation of B2 requires two consecutive extractions of B with the same total probability of 0.25. The formation of AB can be accomplished either by extracting A and then B or by extracting B and then A; the two ways of forming AB both have a probability of 0.25, so the probability to form AB in two consecutive extractions is 0.5. The statistical equil
    • 2/(0.25 × 0.25) = 4.

    • This analogy strictly holds when ligands A and B have the same symmetry properties in the free and bound states. In this case, the binomial coefficient, given by eq 10, corresponds to the statistical factor of the overall stability constant βi. In the case where the symmetry properties are different, the binomial coefficient needs to be corrected by a factor c i to account for such differences. For example, consider the substitution of a water molecule bound to a metal ion with an ammonia molecule. In the reactants, bound water has σint, 2 and free ammonia has σ, 6 (σ, σextσflux, in the products, free water has σ, 2 and bound ammonia has σint -3; accordingly, c, 2 × 6/(2 × 3, 2. The factor c is different from 1 because of the different symmetry properties of free and bound ammonia. Note that eq 12, being equal to βi+1

    • In a previous work of one of us (ref 4a, analyzing the possible cooperativity in the formation of the famous Lehn's double-stranded trimetallic helicate in acetonitrile solution, the symmetry number of Cu+ ions was taken to be equal to 1 as if it were a naked ion. Indeed it is known that Cu+ in acetonitrile forms a tetrahedral complex with four solvent molecules (ref 21, p 758, thus the symmetry number to consider for Cu+ in CH 3CN should be that characteristic of the tetrahedral group, namely 12. It is important to point out, however, that the conclusion drawn in ref 4a, about the absence of cooperativity in the formation of the Lehn' s helicate, is not affected at all by the changing of the symmetry number of Cu+ from 1 to 12, although the values of the estimated microscopic equilibrium constants Kinter(m) and Kintra(m) should be reconsidered
