OEIS A00022: Centered hydrocarbons

Join us as we dive into OEIS A00022, the centered hydrocarbons sequence. We uncover Cayley's early attempts to count these 'centered' carbon arrangements, how graph-theoretic trees help classify isomers, and why zeros appear for small atom counts. We'll glimpse real-world relevance—from drug design and materials science to astrochemistry—and share concrete counts (e.g., 12 atoms → 86 structures; 30 atoms → 74,883). Finally, we point you to the OEIS entry to explore links, papers, and even algorithms you can build yourself.
