Abstract

In mathematical chemistry, a large number of topological indices are used to predict the physicochemical properties of compounds, especially in the study of quantitative structure-proerty relationship (QSPR).
However, many topological indices have almost the same predictive ability. In this paper, we focus on how to use fewer topological indices to predict the physicochemical properties of compounds through the QSPR analysis of connectivity indices of benzene hydrocarbons.

Keywords: Connectivity indices; QSPR; Benzene hydrocarbons.
