Imbalance-Based Irregularity Molecular Descriptors of Nanostar Dendrimers

Abstract

Dendrimers are branched organic macromolecules with successive layers of branch units surrounding a central core. The molecular topology and the irregularity of their structure plays a central role in determining structural properties like enthalpy and entropy. Irregularity indices which are based on the imbalance of edges are determined for the molecular graphs associated with some general classes of dendrimers. We also provide graphical analysis of these indices for the above said classes of dendrimers.
