This work, based on graph theory, presents a US-CAMGEC software developed f
or analysis, generation, and counting organic unsaturated stereoisomers wit
h isolated or cumulated double bonds in structures that may contain chiral
carbon and heteroatoms with variable valences within the molecule. A new ex
tension to N_tuple notation was done for describing accordingly either Z, E
, r, or s double bond and R, S stereoisomerism, Algorithms for transforming
both constitutional isomer N_tuples to their corresponding graphs and grap
hs to the corresponding configurational N_tuples were developed. Computatio
nal implementation of Cahn-Ingold-Prelog (CIP) rules was developed includin
g a new subrule for discriminating priorities to rank complex ligands alrea
dy containing chiral stereocenters and having no different atomic number pa
rtial ranks. Test results for families of symmetric and nonsymmetric hydroc
arbons and their monohalogenated, mono- and dioxygenated, and mono- and din
itrogenated derivatives are presented.
