Geometric representations of a topologically achiral knot. a) At first sight the reduced representation of the 41 knot does not look achiral. b) However, the introduction of nugatory crossings enables the 41 knot to adopt an achiral conformation possessing an S 4 axis. c) A coordination complex with the 41 knot topology (see Scheme 15).33
