Abstract:
In chemical graph theory, topological indices play an important role and have various uses in quantitative structure-property relationships (QSPR) as well as quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSARs). The Hosoya index is one of them, performing a molecular descriptor in mathematical chemistry. Therefore, progressing with investigations requires computing the Hosoya index of distinct molecular graphs. This research presents a computational method for determining the Hosoya index of pericondensed benzenoid systems using the transfer matrix approach and the Hosoya vector.

π Molecular Orbitals of 1,3-Butadiene
The simplest conjugated diene is 1,3-butadiene: a four-carbon system where each carbon is sp2-hybridized and has an unhybridized p orbital that contains an unpaired electron. According to molecular orbital theory, atomic orbitals combine to form molecular orbitals such that the number...

The alkane nomenclature considers the length of the carbon chain, the number, and the location of the substituent to arrive at its systematic name. The IUPAC...
Nomenclature of Aromatic Compounds with Multiple Substituents
For disubstituted benzene derivatives, with two groups attached to the benzene ring, three constitutional isomers are possible. For example, consider dimethyl benzene, often called xylene, where the second methyl group can be substituted at the second, third, or fourth carbon. The relative position of the substituents is represented by prefixes ortho, meta, or...
