Abstract
Došlić et al. obtained general generating functions for the numbers of maximal matchings in three classes of benzenoid chains. By using the Hosoya vector and k-matching vector, Cruz et al. and Oz et al. researched the Hosoya index and the k-matching number of benzenoids, respectively. Inspired by these results, by using the maximal matching vector, we show that the number of maximal matchings of a benzenoid chain with n hexagons equals to the product of n certain matrices. In addition, we obtain the numbers of perfect matchings of all benzenoid chains.
