Resonance graphs of kinky benzenoid systems are daisy cubes

Abstract

Klavžar and Mollard introduced daisy cubes which are interesting isometric subgraphs of $n$-cubes $Q_n$, induced with intervals between the maximal elements of a poset $(V(Q_n),\le )$ and the vertex $0^n\in V(Q_n)$. In this paper we show that the resonance graph, which reflects the interaction between Kekulé structures of aromatic hydrocarbon molecules, is a daisy cube, if the molecules considered can be modeled with the so called kinky benzenoid systems, i.e. catacondensed benzenoid systems without linear hexagons.
