Abstract:
The theoretical predictions of endpoints related to nanomaterials are attractive and more efficient alternatives for their experimental determinations. Such type of calculations for the "usual" substances (i.e. non nanomaterials) can be carried out with molecular graphs. However, in the case of nanomaterials, descriptors traditionally used for the quantitative structure--property/activity relationships (QSPRs/QSARs) do not provide reliable results since the molecular structure of nanomaterials, as a rule, cannot be expressed by the molecular graph. Innovative principles of computational prediction of endpoints related to nanomaterials extracted from available eclectic data (technological attributes, conditions of the synthesis, etc.) are suggested, applied to two different sets of data, and discussed in this work.

In the visual method, metal-ion indicators (metallochromic dyes), which have distinct colors in their free and complex forms, are added to the mixture to signal the titration's end point. They form stable complexes with metal ions, but these complexes are weaker than the corresponding metal–EDTA complexes. As a...
