The subject of this paper includes several interacting topics. The major topic is the possibility of synthesizing molecules with novel topological symmetries. The topological symmetry of a molecule is symmetry of its molecular graph. Since the future nanomolecular synthesis will be technologically carried out using the 3D printer, synthesists will need to specify the exact coordinate positioning of atoms in a molecule. Such input data can be obtained from the analysis of the embeddings of an envisioned molecule into a stereochemically suitable crystal lattice (of diamond, quartz, etc.). Herein, we preliminarily consider some computational and theorematic approaches to this. The research is ongoing and supposes further extended discussion.
