MerSy (MERA Symmetry) descriptors are calculated usung 3D representation of molecules in the framework of MERA algorithm and include the quantitative estimations of molecular symmetry with respect to symmetry axes from C2 to C6 and to inversion-rotational axis from S1 to S6 in the space of principal rotational invariants about each orthogonal component. Additionally the molecular chirality is quantitatively evaluated in agreement with the negative criterion of chirality (the absence of inversion-rotational axes in the molecular point group).
