On molecular topological properties of benzenoid structures

Abstract

The degree-based topological indices correlate certain physicochemical properties such as boiling point, strain energy, and stability, etc., of certain chemical compounds. Among the major classes of topological indices are the distance-based topological indices, degree-based topological indices, and counting-related polynomials and corresponding indices of graphs. Among all of the degree-based indices, namely the first general Zagreb index, general Rndić connectivity index, general sum-connectivity index, atom–bond connectivity index (ABC), and geometric–arithmetic index (GA), are most important due to their chemical significance. In this paper, we compute the first general Zagreb index, general Randić connectivity index, general sum-connectivity index, ABC, GA, ABC4, and GA5 indices of hexagonal parallelogram P(m,n) nanotubes, triangular benzenoid Gn, and zigzag-edge coronoid fused with starphene ZCS(k,l,m) nanotubes by using the line graphs of the subdivision of these chemical graphs.
