Abstract:
Previous studies show that certain physical and chemical properties of chemical compounds are closely related with their molecular structure. As a theoretical basis, it provides a new way of thinking by analyzing the molecular structure of the compounds to understand their physical and chemical properties. The molecular topological indices are numerical invariants of a molecular graph and are useful to predict their bioactivity. Among these topological indices, the eccentric-connectivity index has a prominent place, because of its high degree of predictability of pharmaceutical properties. In this article, we compute the closed formulae of eccentric-connectivity-based indices and its corresponding polynomial for water-soluble perylenediimides-cored polyglycerol dendrimers. Furthermore, the edge version of eccentric-connectivity index for a new class of dendrimers is determined. The conclusions we obtained in this article illustrate the promising application prospects in the field of bioinformatics and nanomaterial engineering.

Physical Properties Affecting Solubility
As for any solution, the solubility of a gas in a liquid is affected by the attractive intermolecular forces between solute and solvent species. Unlike solid and liquid solutes, however, there is no solute-solute intermolecular attraction to overcome when a gaseous solute dissolves in a liquid solvent since the atoms or molecules comprising a gas are far separated and experience negligible interactions. Consequently, solute-solvent interactions are the sole...
