Abstract

Graph theory is a subdivision of discrete mathematics. In graph theory, a graph is made up of vertices connected through edges. Topological indices are numerical parameters or descriptors of graph. Topological index tells the symmetry of compound and helps us to compare those mathematical values, with boiling point, melting point, density, viscosity, hydrophobic surface area, polarity, etc., of that compound. In the present research paper, degree-based topological indices of Zeolite Socony Mobil-5 are calculated. Names of those topological indices are Randić index, first Zagreb index, general sum connectivity index, hyper-Zagreb index, geometric index, ABC index, etc.

1. Introduction

In graph theory, the term graph was suggested in eighteenth century by Leonhard Euler (1702–1782). He was a Swiss mathematician. He manipulated graphs to solve Konigsberg bridge problem [13]. Chemical graph theory is a topological division of mathematical chemistry that practices graph theory to model chemical structures mathematically. It studies chemistry and graph theory to view the detailed physical and chemical properties of compounds. A graph G =  is comprised through a set of vertices V and an edges set [4].

Topological indices study the properties of graphs that remain constant/unchanged after continuous change in structure. Topological indices explain formation and symmetry of chemical compounds numerically and then help in advancement of QSAR (qualitative structure activity relationship) and QSPR (quantitative structure property relationship). Both QSAR and QSPR are used to build a relation among molecular structure and mathematical tools. These descriptors are helpful to correlate physio-chemical properties of compounds (enthalpy, boiling and melting point, strain energy, etc.) that is why these descriptors have a large number of applications in chemistry, biotechnology, nanotechnology, etc.

Topological indices are invariants of graph that is why topological indices are independent of pictorial representation of graph. In other words, it is a numerical value that describes the structure of chemical graph [5, 6]. Among the three types of topological indices, degree-based indices have great importance. The need to define these indices is to explain physical properties of every chemical structure with a number. Continuous change in shape does not affect the value of topological index. Topological indices are useful in the study of QSAR and QSPR because topological indices show the physical properties and convert the chemical structure into a numerical value.

Distance-based topological indices deal with distances of graph, degree-based topological indices use the concept of degree, and counting-based topological index depends upon counting the edges. Randic explained some characteristics of a topological index. Some of them are explained here.

A topological index should(i)have architectural interpretation(ii)be well-defined(iii)be related with at least one physio-chemical property of compound(iv)be uncomplicated(v)display an appropriate size dependence(vi)modify with modification in structure(vii)locally defined(viii)have related with other indices

Topological indices show translations of chemical compounds into distinctive structural descriptors as a numerical value that can be used by QSAR [7, 8]. Topological indices are awfully beneficial in describing the properties of given compound. Chemists can use these indices to correlate considerable range of characteristics. Medicine industry is developing new drug designs that are useful for humans, plants, and animals. Many graph theoretical techniques have been established for forecasting of medicinal, environmental, and physio-chemical properties of compounds. It is not astonishing to see such a great victory of graph theory and topological indices in analyzing biological and physical characteristics of chemical compounds.

1.1. ZSM

Zeolites (alumino silicate) are tetrahedrally-linked structures based on silicate and aluminate tetrahedral. Structural chemistry deals with the framework of zeolites; it also works out on the arrangement of cations and other molecules in pore spaces. It belongs to a pentasil class of zeolite. It consists of silica (Si) and alumina (Al). It is named as ZSM-5 due to pore diameter of five angstrom; also, it has Si/Al ratio of five [9]. Size of the molecule depends on the type of structure. It is a crystalline powder. Geometry of pores can be connected in channels in one, two, or three dimensions.

1.1.1. Motivations

The structure of ZSM-5 has great importance in the field of chemistry, petroleum, and medicine industry. ZSM-5 is useful because of its stability, favorable selectivity, metal tolerance, and flexibility. It is also useful for the treatment of fertilizers. It helps to separate oxygen and nitrogen in the air. This unique structure is useful in petroleum industry as a catalyst. It is generally used in the conversion of methanol to gasoline as well as refining of oil. Through dehydration, it changes alcohol into petrol. Efficiency of LPG can also be increased through ZSM-5 catalyst. It keeps unusual hydrophobicity that is useful to separate hydrocarbons from polar compounds. Basic reason of calculation of topological indices is the industrial uses of ZSM-5 structure.(1)First General Zagreb Index. This index was first presented by Li and Zhao. Its mathematical form is defined in [1012] as follows:First and Second Zagreb Index. There are two Zagreb groups of indices, denoted by and [1315].

At that time, it was called as branching index [8, 17, 18] and used to measure the branching of hydrocarbons.

Mathematically, it is written as(17)Forgotten Index. This index was given by Gutman and Furtula in 2015 [16, 28, 29]. It is denoted by F (G) or F index:(18)General Sum Connectivity Index. The index was proposed by Zhou and Trinajstić [15, 23, 30]. Mathematically,where .(19)Symmetric Division Index. In 2010, Vukicevic̀ and Furtula proposed this useful index denoted by SD (G) [28, 31, 32]:(20)Harmonic Index. Siemion Fajtlowicz wrote a computer program that works for the automatic generation of conjectures in graph theory [11, 15]. He also examined the relationship between graph invariants; while doing this work, he found a vertex degree-based quantity. Later on, (in 2012) Zhang rediscovered that unknown quantity and named it as harmonic index. It is written as

2. Topological Indices of ZSM-5 Graphs

Topological indices remain constant for a given compound; they do not depend on the direction or position of graph. We can predict many physical properties of compounds such as solubility, soil sorption, boiling and melting properties, biodegradability, toxicity, vaporization, and thermodynamic properties.
