The Merrifield-Simmons index of a graph is defined as the total number of the independent sets of the graph and the Hosoya index of a graph is defined as the total number of the matchings of the graph. In this paper, we give formula for Merrifield-Simmons and Hosoya indices of some classes of cartesian product of two graphs K{_2}×H, where H is a path graph P{_n}, cyclic graph C{_n}, or star gra...

Cobalt complexes supported on silica and Merrifield resin are effective mediators for the controlled radical polymerization of vinyl acetate.

Four polymer-supported benzotriazoles were prepared by linkage of 5-(hydroxymethyl)benzotriazole and benzotrizaole-5-carboxylic acid with Wang resin, Merrifield resin, and (monomethoxy)poly(ethylene glycol). The solid-phase and liquid-phase syntheses of tetrahydroquinolines were achieved by two-pair coupling reactions of aldehydes and aromatic amines using these polymer-supported benzotriazoles...

let $g=(v,e)$ be a‎ ‎simple graph of order $n$ and size $m$‎. ‎an $r$-matching of $g$ is ‎a set of $r$ edges of $g$ which no two of them have common vertex‎. ‎the hosoya index $z(g)$ of a graph $g$ is defined as the total‎ ‎number of its matchings‎. ‎an independent set of $g$ is a set of‎ ‎vertices where no two vertices are adjacent‎. ‎the ‎merrifield-simmons index of $g$ is defined as the tota...

Boc-protected l-fulleropyrrolidino-glutamic acid was readily prepared and employed for the synthesis of fullerene-containing peptides using the solid-phase Boc chemistry developed by Merrifield.

This personal reflection on the author's experience as Bruce Merrifield's first graduate student has been adapted from a talk given at the Merrifield Memorial Symposium at the Rockefeller University on November 13, 2006.
