Molecular Structure Investigation through Topological indices

This book aims at providing the concepts of topological indices and its applications in various fields. Topological indices capture the symmetry of molecular structure and provide a mathematical language to predict physical and chemical properties of chemical compounds. In the fields of chemical graph theory, molecular topology, and mathematical chemistry a topological index also known as a connectivity index. These topological indices are numerical parameters of a graph which characterize its topology and are usually graph invariant. Also, this book offers examples of topological indices in the development of quantitative structure-activity relationships and quantitative structure-property relationships (QSAR/QSPRs) in which the biological activity or other properties of molecules are correlated with their chemical structure.
