Wiener-type indices and internal molecular energy

Abstract

In earlier studies it was established that internal molecular energies (Eint) of alkanes can be reproduced, in an approximate yet reliable manner by means of a molecular-graph-based structure-descriptor U. It was also established that U is linearly correlated with the Wiener index W. We now show that the correlation between U and W is more complicated than earlier expected, and that it cannot be represented by a single line. We also show that a very good linear correlation exists between U and a modified version Wm(?) of the Wiener index, which is thus more suitable for modeling Eint than the ordinary Wiener index. .

A Simple Method for Computing Resistance Distance

“…Formula (5) was reported earlier (for details and further references see [7,33]), but was deduced by a completely different way of reasoning.…”

“…The Laplacian spectral theory is a well elaborated part of algebraic graph theory and its details can be found in numerous reviews, for instance in [27,30,31]. Concerning chemical applications of Laplacian spectra see [32,33].…”

Vertex-Eccentricity Descriptors in Dendrimers

“…The Wiener index of a molecular graph G represents the sum of topological distances between all pairs of atoms/vertices of G. Details on the Wiener index can be found in [17][18][19][20].…”

Connections between Wiener index and matchings

“…According to the Kel'mans theorem [20,27,28], the coefficients c k s of µ(T , x) satisfy the following:…”
