Characterization of Molecular Branching Using Topological Indices.

Abstract

Characterizing mathematically the branching present in molecular species has remained a problem which has challenged chemists for decades. The problem involves essentially the derivation of indices of branching which should be unique for a given structure. Although extensive use has been made of a wide variety of graph invariants in this context, no completely satisfactory resolution of the problem can yet be said to have been achieved. Here we survey the current state of the art in the description of molecular branching and review the prospects for future significant advances in the field.
