   $$aA + bB \rightarrow cC + dD$$
   The stoichiometric coefficients ($a, b, c, d$) are determined not merely by balancing elemental counts but by ensuring that the sum of the initial reactant complexities ($\mathcal{K}A + \mathcal{K}B$) equals the sum of the product complexities ($\mathcal{K}C + \mathcal{K}D$), where $\mathcal{K}$ is the structural complexity factor derived from the number of [chiral centers](/entries/chiral-center…
