Gutman proposed a new alternative interpretation of vertex-degree-based topological index, called Sombor index. It is defined via the term . In this paper, we determine explicit expressions index for line and total graphs several pericondensed benzenoid hydrocarbons.

A naturally occurring enynyl-benzenoid, benzocamphorin F (1), from the edible fungus Taiwanofungus camphoratus (Antrodia camphorata) was characterized by comprehensive spectral analysis. It displays anti-inflammatory bioactivity and is valuable for further biological studies. The present study is the first total synthesis of benzocamphorin F and the developed strategy described is a more effici...

Two-dimensional arrays consisting of strongly subspectral molecular graphs and formula periodic tables for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are briefly reviewed. New two-dimensional arrays for free-radical benzenoid hydrocarbons are presented with general analytical expressions for counting their number of resonance structures (SC). The structural origin of the coefficients to these analytical ...

The algebraic Kekulé structure of a finite catacondensed benzenoid graph with h hexagons is described by a binary code of length h. The procedure can be reversed, any (algebraic) Kekulé structure can be recovered from its binary code. c © 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

An algorithm is described by means of which the Kekulé structures of a catacondensed benzenoid molecule (with h hexagons) are transformed into binary codes (of length h). By this, computer-aided manipulations with, and memory-storage of Kekulé structures are much facilitated. Any Kekulé structure can easily be recovered from its binary code.

A new and facile synthesis of 2-thioxoquinazolin-4-ones by introducing a benzenoid system in the pyrimidine moiety by reacting ethoxymethylene derivatives of 1,3-diarylthiobarbituric acids (DTBA) with active methylene compounds, such as malononitrile and ethyl cyanoacetate, in presence of ZnCl₂ has been developed.

It is shown that the number of Clar formulas of a Kekuléan benzenoid system B is equal to the number of subgraphs of the resonance graph of B isomorphic to the Cl(B)-dimensional hypercube, where Cl(B) is the Clar number of B.

It is not known how plants make the benzenoid ring of ubiquinone, a vital respiratory cofactor. Here, we demonstrate that Arabidopsis thaliana uses for that purpose two separate biosynthetic branches stemming from phenylalanine and tyrosine. Gene network modeling and characterization of T-DNA mutants indicated that acyl-activating enzyme encoded by At4g19010 contributes to the biosynthesis of u...
