Abstract

Abstract Atom-bond-connectivity (ABC) indices are obtained in analytical forms for graphene sheets, zigzag single walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs), and single walled carbon nanotori in terms of number of rings (r) that measures the length and the number of hexagons in between two rings (h) that dictates the width of the concerned systems. The procedures followed for ABC index have been used to obtain the expressions of augmented Zagreb and Randić indices for such systems. Logarithm of ABC indices of zigzag SWCNTs are found to correlate linearly well with the bond dissociation energies per C–C bond and the Young’s moduli of said SWCNTs with fixed number of rings (r) but varying number of hexagons (h) in between two successive rings. The plot of logarithm of ABC index versus Young’s modulus of such SWCNTs in varying both r and h simultaneously is not a straight line but fits well with the sigmoidal (Boltzmann) curve. Wiener index, one of the important distance based index, has recently been found to have similar correlations with the concerned properties of such systems. Similar plots would appear for the said properties of the zigzag SWCNTs with other degree-based indices like augmented Zagreb and Randić indices, as have been indicated from their respective expressions obtained.
