Purpose. In this work, a novel descriptor of atoms in molecules is introduced. The Refractotopological State Index for atoms (R-state,R ), rectifies the atomic refractivity values reported by Crippen et al with the atomic refractivity values of the topological environment of each skeletal atom in the molecule. Method. The R-state (R i), for atom i is an hybrid index that is defined as the intri...
