Computation of Structural Descriptors of Pyrene Cored Dendrimers through Quotient Graph Approach and Its Graph Entropy Measures

Dendrimers are highly defined hyperbranched artificial macromolecules, synthesised by convergent or divergent approach with specific applications in various fields. Dendrimers can be represented as graph models, from which a quantitative description can be drawn in relation with their structural properties. The distance-based and the degree-based descriptors have great importance and huge applications in structural chemistry. These indices together with entropy measures are found to be more effective and have found application in scientific fields. The idea of graph entropy is to characterise the complexity of graphs. The use of these graph invariants in quantitative structure property relationship and quantitative structure activity relationship studies has become of major interest in recent years. In this paper, the distance-based molecular descriptors of pyrene cored dendrimers are studied applying the technique of converting original graph into quotient graphs using Θ∗ -classes. It is to be noted that, since the pyrene cored dendrimer, Gn is not a partial cube, usual cut method is not applicable. Further, various degree-based descriptors and their corresponding graph entropies of the pyrene cored dendrimers are also studied. Based on the obtained results, a comparative analysis as well as a regression analysis was carried out.
