Calculating of degree-based topological indices of nanostructures

Abstract

A larger amount of studies reveal that there is strong inherent connection between the chemical characteristics of nanostructures and their molecular structures. Degree-based topological indices introduced on these chemical molecular structures can help material scientists better understand its chemical and biological features, thus they can make up for the lack of chemical experiments. In this paper, by means of edge dividing trick, we present several degree-based indices of special widely employed nanostructures: nanotubes, polyphenylene dendrimers, H-Naphtalenic nanotubes NPHX[m, n], nanotubes and PAMAM dendrimers.
