Metal-organic networks (MONs) are among the unique complex and porous chemical compounds. So, these chemical compounds consist of metal ions (vertices) and organic ligands (edges between vertices). These networks represent large pore volume, extreme surface area, morphology, excellent chemical stability, highly porous and crystalline materials, and octahedral clusters. MONs are mostly used in assessment of chemicals, gas and energy storage devices, sensing, separation and purification of different gases, heterogeneous catalysis, environmental hazard, toxicology, adsorption analysis, biomedical applications, and biocompatibility. Recently, drug delivery, cancer imaging, and biosensing have been investigated by biomedical applications of zinc-related MONs. The versatile applications of these MONs make them helpful tools in many fields of science in recent decade. In this paper, we discuss the two different zinc oxide and zinc silicate related MONs according to the number of increasing layers of metal and organic ligands together. We also compute the connection-based Zagreb indices such as first Zagreb connection index (ZCI), second ZCI, modified first ZCI, modified second ZCI, modified third ZCI, and modified fourth ZCI. Moreover, a comparison is also included between the zinc-related MONs by using numerical values of connection-based Zagreb indices. Finally, we conclude that zinc silicate-related MON is better than zinc oxide-related MON for all values of n.

Abstract Topological index (TI) is a numerical invariant that helps to understand the natural relationship of the physicochemical properties of a compound in its primary structure. George Polya introduced the idea of counting polynomials in chemical graph theory and Winer made the use of TI in chemical compounds working on the paraffin's boiling point. The literature of the topological indices and counting polynomials of different graphs has grown extremely since that time. Metal-organic network (MON) is a group of different chemical compounds that consist of metal ions and organic ligands to represent unique morphology, excellent chemical stability, large pore volume, and very high surface area. Working on structures, characteristics, and synthesis of various MONs show the importance of these networks with useful applications, such as sensing of different gases, assessment of chemicals, environmental hazard, heterogeneous catalysis, gas and energy storage devices of excellent material, conducting solids, super-capacitors and catalysis for the purification, and separation of different gases. The above-mentioned properties and physical stability of these MONs become a most discussed topic nowadays. In this paper, we calculate the M-polynomials and various TIs based on these polynomials for two different MONs. A comparison among the aforesaid topological indices is also included to represent the better one.

Metal organic networks (MONs) are defined as one, two and three dimensional unique complex structures of porous material and subclass of polymer’s coordination. These networks also show extreme surface area, morphology, excellent chemical stability, large pore volume, highly crystalline materials. The major advantages of MONs are tailorability, structural diversity, versatile applications, highly controllable nano-structures and functionality. So, the multi-functional applications of these MONs are made them more helpful tools in many fields of science in recent decade. In this paper, we light on the two different MONs with respect to the number of increasing layers of metal and organic ligands together. We define the novel multiplicative Zagreb connection indices (ZCIs) such that multiplicative fourth ZCI and multiplicative fifth ZCI. We also compute the main results for multiplicative Zagreb connection indices of two different MONs (zinc oxide and zinc silicate).

AbstractMetal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are porous materials formed by strong bonds between metal ions and organic ligands to represent very high surface area, large pore volume, excellent chemical stability and unique morphology. Work on synthesis, structures and characteristics of many MOFs shows the importance of these frameworks with versatile applications, such as energy storage devices of excellent electrode materials, gas storage, heterogeneous catalysis, environmental hazard, assessment of chemicals and sensing of different gases. A topological property or index is a numerical invariant that predicts the physicochemical properties of the chemical compounds of the underlying molecular graph or framework. Wiener (1947) created the practice of the topological indices (TI’s) in organic molecules with the reference of boiling point of paraffin. In this paper, we study the two different metal-organic frameworks with respect to the number of increasing layers with metal and organic ligands as well. We also compute the generalized Zagreb index and generalized Zagreb connection index of these frameworks. Moreover, the various indices and connection indices are obtained by using the aforesaid generalized versions. At the end, a comparison is also included between the indices and connection indices with the help of numerical values and their 3D plots.

Topological index plays an important role in predicting physicochemical properties of a molecular structure. With the help of the topological index, we can associate a single number with a molecular graph. Drugs and other chemical compounds are frequently demonstrated as different polygonal shapes, trees, graphs, etc. In this paper, we will compute irregularity indices for metal-organic networks.

By interconnecting nanomachines and forming nanonetworks, the capacities of single nanomachines are expected to be enhanced, as the ensuing information exchange will allow them to cooperate towards a common goal. Nowadays, systems normally use electromagnetic signals to encode, send and receive information, however, in a novel communication paradigm, molecular transceivers, channel models or protocols use molecules. This article presents the current developments in nanomachines along with their future architecture to better understand nanonetwork scenarios in biomedical applications. Furthermore, to highlight the communication needs between nanomachines, two applications for nanonetworks are also presented: i) a new networking paradigm, called the Internet of NanoThings, that allows nanoscale devices to interconnect with existing communication networks, and ii) Molecular Communication, where the propagation of chemical compounds like drug particles, carry out the information exchange.

Biodiesel is a promising candidate for sustainable and renewable energy and extensive research is being conducted worldwide to optimize its production process. The employed catalyst is an important parameter in biodiesel production. Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), which are a set of highly porous materials comprising coordinated bonds between metals and organic ligands, have recently been proposed as catalysts. MOFs exhibit high tunability, possess high crystallinity and surface area, and their order can vary from the atomic to the microscale level. However, their catalytic sites are confined inside their porous structure, limiting their accessibility for biodiesel production. Modification of MOF structure by immobilizing enzymes or ionic liquids (ILs) could be a solution to this challenge and can lead to better performance and provide catalytic systems with higher activities. This review compiles the recent advances in catalytic transesterification for biodiesel production using enzymes or ILs. The available literature clearly indicates that MOFs are the most suitable immobilization supports, leading to higher biodiesel production without affecting the catalytic activity while increasing the catalyst stability and reusability in several cycles.
