The Wiener indrex (W) is known to be well correlated with a variety of
physico-chemical properties of numberous classes of organic compounds. It was
suspected for some time that the success of W has its origin in the fact
that W represents a measure of intermolecular (attractive) forces,
especially in the case of non-polar molecules. We now corroborate this
hypothesis by showing that in the case of alkanes W is proportional to
the acentric factor as well as to the parameter a in the van der Waals
equation.
Key words: Wiener index, acentric factor,
intermolecular forces.

(Received 19 May 1996)
A rule for eliminating all terminal vertices (and all the edges attached to
them) in acyclic molecular graphs is defined. Successive use of this operation
leads to a sequence (G0,G1,G2...) of
acyclic molecular graphs. It is suggested that the difference between Wiener
number W(Gk) and W(Gk+1) relates to the
difference between T(Gk) and T(Gk+1) where
T stands for boiling point or critical temperature.
Key words: Wiener number, successive suppression,
difference, physical quantity, acyclic molecular graph.

Decomposition of
the Wiener number into contributions coming from homodistant pairs of vertices.
Definition and a QSAR application

The Wiener number is expressed in terms of homodistant pairs of vertices of the
molecular graph. Two pairs of vertices are called homodistant if they are
separated by the same distance, i.e., if they correspond to equal
entries in the distance matrix. The numbers of homodistant pairs of vertices of
different order, that is, the counts of ones, twos, threes, etc., in the
distance matrix, are shown to differ from the path numbers of graphs of
molecules containing cycles. These numbers are used to describe the antiviral
activity of benzimidazole derivatives. The model found contains two independent
variables: one related to global topological features of molecules, the other
related to possible specific interactions with biological receptors. The
quantitative structure-activity model found is compared with other models based
on molecular connectivity indices, the original Wiener number and the number of
paths of different length. The present approach has some strong and weak
features, relative to other QSAR studies of specific drug-receptor
interactions.
Key words: Wiener topological index, QSAR study,
benzimidazole derivatives, antiviral activity.

If PH is a phenylene, HS its hexagonal squeeze and ID the inner dual of HS,
then the following relation exists between the respective Wiener indices (W):
W(PH) = (9/4)[W(HS) + 16 W(ID) - (2 h + 1) (4 h
+ 1)]-, where h is the number of hexagons of PH and HS, i.e., the number
of vertices of ID. This equality is a new member of the series of recently
discovered connections between topological properties of PH and HS.
Key words: Wiener index, phenylenes, hexagonal
squeeze.

The Wiener index is tested as a possible measure of the relative-stability
order for the isolated-pentagon-rule (IPR) isomers of higher fullerens. The
quotient works very well for the C80 IPR set (and is superior
to the topological HOMO-LUMO gap). The Harary index produces a comparable
correlation. The Wiener index, however, does not produce a good stability
correlation for the IPR sets of C84 and C86
Key words: Wiener index, higher fullerenes, IPR
structures, relative stabilities.

The paper describes topological estimation of the inhibition of DNA synthesis
by hydroxyurea(s) using the Wiener index (W). The data suggest
that the hydroxyureas inhibit a reaction in the biosynthesis of
deoxyribonucleotides, which can be modeled by W. The relationship between W
and the inhibitory activity is discussed. The inhibitory potential is also
correlated with the increments obtained by decomposition of W into its
single and double bond contributions.
Key words: DNA synthesis, inhibition by
hydroxyurea, topological estimation, graph theory, hydroxyurea.

The paper gives a brief account of the recently introduced Szeged index (Sz).
This index has been calculated for a series of polychlorinated biphenyls and
used in predicting their occurrence in the environment. The potential of Sz
relative to the Wiener index (W) is critically discussed. The advantage
of Sz over W is established by employing regression analysis.

In alkanes, the Wiener (W), Schultz (MTI) and Szeged (Sz)
topological indices are known to be closely related, being thus equally capable
of predicting the physico-chemical properties of these compounds. We have now
examined cycloalkanes and found that for them: (a) W, MTI and Sz
are linerly correlated, (b) the correlations of W, MTI and Sz
with boiling point, molar volume and molar refraction are curvilinear and for
all three indices are of nearly equal quality, and (c) W yields slightly
better results than MTI and Sz.
Key words: Wiener index, Szeged index, Schultz
index, molecular topological index, cycloalkanes.

Two structure-descriptors: the optical topological index (Iopt),
distinguishing between enantiomers, and the stereoisomeric topological index
(ISTI), distinguishing between stereoisomers, were recently
introduced. Both Iopt and ISTI are defined via the distance
matrix of the respective molecular graph. We now establish some fundamental
properties of Iopt and ISTI
and, in particular, show how they are related to the Wiener index.

Transformations of

(Received 14 July 1996)
The code matrix of trees generates their distance matrix, and transforms the
incidence matrix of the complete graph into the path matrix. Adjacency and
distance matrices of all graphs are related by the transformation of distance
moments (dij)k as aij = lim (dij)-k
(k ->0) The dependence of the eigenvalues of distance-moment matrices on k
is studied on the examples of a 5-vertex linear chain, a 4-membered cycle and a
cube. The distance moments can also be changed by different configurations of
molecular graphs. The chemical significance of the results obtained in pointed
out.
Key words: Adjacency matrix, distance matrix,
code matrix, walk matrix, eigenvalues.
