Abstract:A topological index of graph G is a numerical parameter related to G which characterizes its molecular topology and is usually graph invariant. In the field of quantitative structure-activity (QSAR)/quantitative structure-activity structure-property (QSPR) research, theoretical properties of the chemical compounds and their molecular topological indices such as the Randić connectivity index, atom-bond connectivity (ABC) index and geometric-arithmetic (GA) index are used to predict the bioactivity of different chemical compounds. A dendrimer is an artificially manufactured or synthesized molecule built up from the branched units called monomers. In this paper, the fourth version of ABC index and the fifth version of GA index of certain families of nanostar dendrimers are investigated. We derive the analytical closed formulas for these families of nanostar dendrimers. The obtained results can be of use in molecular data mining, particularly in researching the uniqueness of tested (hyper-branched) molecular graphs.
Let G be a simple graph. The atom-bond connectivity (ABC) index of G is defined asThis molecular structure descriptor, introduced by Estrada et al. in the late 1990s, found recently interesting applications in the study of the thermodynamic stability of acyclic saturated hydrocarbons, and the strain energy of their cyclic congeners. A dendrimer is a hyperbranched molecule built up from branched units called monomers. In this paper, we compute the ABC index for some families of nanostars and polyphenylene dendrimers.
