Topological aspects of some dendrimer structures

Abstract

A numerical number associated to the molecular graph G that describes its molecular topology is called topological index. In the study of QSAR and QSPR, topological indices such as atom-bond connectivity index, Randić connectivity index, geometric index, etc. help to predict many physico-chemical properties of the chemical compound under study. Dendrimers are macromolecules and have many applications in chemistry, especially in self-assembly procedures and host-guest reactions. The aim of this report is to compute degree-based topological indices, namely the fourth atom-bond connectivity index and fifth geometric arithmetic index of poly propyl ether imine, zinc porphyrin, and porphyrin dendrimers.
