On General Sum-Connectivity Index of Benzenoid Systems and Phenylenes

Edge-Szeged and vertex-PIindices of Some Benzenoid Systems

The edge version of Szeged index and vertex version of PI index are defined very recently. They are similar to edge-PI and vertex-Szeged indices, respectively. The different versions of Szeged and PIindices are the most important topological indices defined in Chemistry. In this paper, we compute the edge-Szeged and vertex-PIindices of some important classes of benzenoid systems.

On Distances in Benzenoid Systems

We show that the molecular graph G of a benzenoid hydrocarbon admits an isometric embedding into the Cartesian product of three trees T1, T2, and T3 defined by three directions of the host hexagonal grid. Namely, to every vertex V of G one can associate an ordered triplet (V1, V2, V3) with Vi being a vertex of Ti (i ) 1, 2, 3), such that the graph-theoretic distance between two vertices u, V of...

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...
