The hydrogen-depleted graphs of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons contain two types of vertices (with regard to their degree) and correspondingly three types of edges. The respective sums of these edges reflect the molecular topology of the hydrocarbons and were used for constructing a new topological index for kata-annellated aromatic hydrocarbons that correlates well with their topological resonance energies per electron. Dependent on the degrees of their first neighbours, the vertices of degree 2 of polycyclic hydrocarbons can be distinguished as to high, medium and low chemical reactivity of the corresponding carbon atoms, in agreement with the results from MO theory and experiments.

Introduction: A graph is supposed to be regular if all vertices have equal degree, otherwise irregular. Materials and Methods: Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are important combusting material and considered as class of carcinogens. These polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons play an important role in graphitisation of medical science. A topological index is a function that assigns a numerical value to a (molecular) graph which predicts various physical, chemical, biological, thermodynamical and structural properties of (molecular) graphs. An irregular index is a topological index that measures the irregularity of atoms with respect to their bonding for the chemical compounds which are involved in the under studying graphs. Results and Discussion: In this paper, we will compute an analysis of distance based irregular indices of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. A comparison among the obtained indices with the help of their numerical values and the 3D presentations is also included. The efficient and steady indices of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are addressed in the form of their irregularities. Conclusion: Connection based study of the molecular graphs is more suitable than the degree based irregularity indices.

The Wiener index is a topological index of a molecular graph, defined as the sum of distances between all pairs of its vertices. Benzenoid graphs include molecular graphs of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. An edge thorny graph G is constructed from a catacondensed benzenoid graph H by attaching new graphs to edges of a perfect matching of H. A formula for the Wiener index of G is derived. The index of the resulting graph does not contain distance characteristics of elements of H and depends on the Wiener index of H and distance properties of the attached graphs.
