https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.S06209
The term was originally applied to describe the maximum flocking of either hard or soft @L03518@ in the same complexes. For hydrocarbon molecules, symbiosis implies that those containing a maximum number of C–H bonds (e.g. CH4) or C–C bonds (e.g. Me4C) are the most @S05900@.
