Abstract Covalent organic frameworks (ZnP-COFs) made of zinc-porphyrin have become effective materials with a variety of uses, including gas storage and catalysis. To simulate the structural and electrical features of ZnP-COFs, this study goes into the computation of polynomials utilizing degree-based indices. We gave a methodical study of these polynomial computations using Excel, illustrating the complex interrelationships between the various indices. Degree-based indices provide valuable insights into the connectivity of vertices within a network. M-polynomials, on the other hand, offer a mathematical framework for representing and studying the properties of 2D COFs. By encoding structural information into a polynomial form, M-polynomials facilitate the calculation of various topological indices, including the Wiener index, Zagreb indices, and more. The different behavior of ZnP-COFs based on degree-based indices was illustrated graphically, and this comparison provided insightful information for prospective applications and the construction of innovative ZnP-COF structures. Moreover, we discuss the relevance of these techniques in the broader context of materials science and the design of functional covalent organic frameworks.
