Area of Science:

  • * Cheminformatics
  • * Computational Chemistry
  • * Physical Chemistry

Background:

  • * Molecular structure is numerically characterized by structural descriptors, such as the Wiener index (W).
  • * Distance-based topological indices are crucial in Quantitative Structure-Property Relationship (QSPR) and Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationship (QSAR) models for drug design, toxicology, and virtual screening.
  • * The Wiener index (W) is a foundational descriptor derived from interatomic distances in molecular graphs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • * To introduce novel topological indices derived from partitioning the Wiener polynomial.
  • * To explore the utility of these novel indices in enhancing QSPR models.
  • * To investigate the predictive power of even and odd molecular graph distance counts.

Main Methods:

  • * Optimization of even and odd power function variables within QSPR modeling.
  • * Application and testing of these indices in QSPR models for various physical properties of alkanes.

Main Results:

  • * The proposed even/odd Wiener polynomial indices demonstrate improved correlations for predicting physical properties of alkanes.
  • * These novel indices can lead to simpler and more effective QSPR models.
  • * Notable improvements were observed in correlations for boiling temperature, molar heat capacity, standard Gibbs energy of formation, vaporization enthalpy, refractive index, and density.

Conclusions:

  • * Novel topological indices based on even and odd Wiener polynomial partitioning offer enhanced predictive capabilities for QSPR.
  • * These indices provide a more refined approach to molecular descriptor development.
  • * The findings suggest a promising avenue for improving the accuracy and simplicity of QSPR models in cheminformatics.
