Our investigations are motivated by recent papers concerning the spectral moments of the edge-adjacency matrix, which were successfully employed in QSAR and QSPR studies of different classes of compounds [Estrada, E. J. Chem. Inf. Comput. Sci. 1996, 36, 844-849; 1997, 37, 320-328; 1998, 38, 23-27]. In this work, the evaluation of the 10th spectral moment of the vertex-adjacency matrix for pheny...
