scholarly journals DHARWAD INDICES

Recently, Gutman considered a class of novel graph invariants of which the Sombor index was defined. In this paper, we introduce the Dharwad index, reduced Dharwad index, -Dharwad index and their exponentials of a graph and compute exact formulas for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and benzenoid systems.

Topological descriptors are non-empirical graph invariants that characterize the structures of chemical molecules. The structural descriptors are vital components of QSAR/QSPR studies which form the basis for theoretical chemists to design and investigate new chemical structures. Irregularity indices are a class of topological descriptors that have been employed to study certain chemical properties of compounds. This article aims to compute analytical expressions of irregularity indices for three important classes of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. The intriguing properties of these classes of compounds have several potential applications in wide-raging fields, which warrant a study of their properties from a structural perspective. Additionally, the 3D graphical representations of a few indices are presented, which will aid in analyzing the similarity of behavior among the indices.

We show that polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) chromophores that are linked between two five-membered rings can access planarized structures with reduced optical gaps and redox potentials. Two aceanthrylene chromophores were connected into dimer model systems with the chromophores either projected outward (2,2’-biaceanthrylene) or inward (1,1’-biaceanthrylene) and the optical and electronic properties were compared. Only the planar 2,2’-biaceanthrylene system showed significant reductions of the optical gaps (1 eV) and redox potentials in relation to the aceanthrylene monomer.<br>

The concentration of 16 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the gasoline combustion products emitted into the atmosphere by internal combustion engines (ICE) has been measured using the gas chromatography method. The concentrations of PAHs in the exhaust gases sampled behind a catalytic converter has been determined when the ICE operates in five modes: idle mode, high speed mode, load mode, ICE cold start mode (engine warm-up) and transient mode. Using 92 RON, 95 RON and 98 RON gasoline the effect of the octane number of gasoline on the PAHs content in the exhaust gases has been revealed. The concentration of the most carcinogenic component (benzo(α)pyrene) in the exhaust gases behind a catalytic converter significantly exceeds a reference value of benzo(α)pyrene in the atmospheric air established by the WHO and the EU for ICE in the load mode.
