GC-MS analyses of nocturnal and diurnal floral volatiles from nine tobacco species (Nicotiana; Solanaceae) resulted in the identification of 125 volatiles, including mono- and sesquiterpenoids, benzenoid and aliphatic alcohols, aldehydes and esters. Fragrance chemistry was species-specific during nocturnal emissions, whereas odors emitted diurnally were less distinct. All species emitted greate...

In plants, benzoic acid (BA) is believed to be synthesized from Phe through shortening of the propyl side chain by two carbons. It is hypothesized that this chain shortening occurs via either a beta-oxidative or non-beta-oxidative pathway. Previous in vivo isotope labeling and metabolic flux analysis of the benzenoid network in petunia (Petunia hybrida) flowers revealed that both pathways yield...

In a series of publications Estrada (Estrada, E. J. Chem. Inf. Comput. Sci. 1996, 36, 844-849; 1997 37, 320-328; 1998, 38, 23-27) employed spectral moments of line graphs in QSPR and QSAR relationship studies of various classes of compounds. A recent paper (Marković, S.; Gutman, I. J. Chem. Inf Comput. Sci. 1999, 39, 289-293) reported that in QSPR and QSAR investigations of benzenoid hydrocarbo...

Topological indices are numerical quantities associated with the molecular graph of a chemical structure. These used to predict various properties structures. Imbalance-based analysis is an advanced technique for compounds irregular characteristics. The graphs zigzag benzenoid systems <m...

As a strengthening of the concept global forcing number graph G, complete G is cardinality minimum edge subset to which restriction every perfect matching M set M. Xu et al. (J Comb Opt 29: 803–814, 2015) revealed that also antifores each matching, and obtained for catacondensed hexagonal system, equal Clar plus hexagons (Chan MATCH Commun Math Comput Chem 74: 201–216, 2015). In this paper, we ...

structural codes vis-a-vis structural counts, like polynomials of a molecular graph, areimportant in computing graph-theoretical descriptors which are commonly known astopological indices. these indices are most important for characterizing carbon nanotubes(cnts). in this paper we have computed sadhana index (sd) for phenylenes and theirhexagonal squeezes using structural codes (counts). sadhan...
