Working within a cycle of intentionality means that a museum, among many other activities, carefully writes intentions that reflect and describe the essence of the museum and its unique value an...

The Structural Interpretation of the Randi Index

Motivation. The Randiü index is one of the most successful molecular descriptors in structure–property and structure–activity relationships studies. In spite of some attempts to interpret the physical meaning of this index it is still not clear what exactly this index measures in a molecular structure. The finding of the structural interpretation of this topological index will open the doors to...

Randi} Index of Benzenoid Systems and Phenylenes*

A new parameter, related to and easily determined from the structure of a benzenoid system and that of a phenylene – the number of inlets (r) – is introduced. The connectivity (Randi}) index of both benzenoid systems and phenylenes is then shown to depend solely on the number of vertices and on r. A simple relation is established between the connectivity index of a phenylene and of the correspo...
