Entropy structural characterization of zeolites BCT and DFT with bond-wise scaled comparison

Entropy of a connected network is a quantitative measure from information theory that has triggered a plethora of research domains in molecular chemistry, biological sciences and computer programming due to its inherent capacity to explore the structural characteristics of complex molecular frameworks that have low structural symmetry as well as high diversity. The analysis of the structural order is greatly simplified through the topological indices based graph entropy metrics, which are then utilized to predict the structural features of molecular frameworks. This predictability has not only revolutionized the study of zeolitic frameworks but has also given rise to new generations of frameworks. We make a comparative study of two versatile framework topologies namely zeolites BCT and DFT, which have been widely utilized to create a new generation of frameworks known as metal organic frameworks. We discuss bond-additive topological indices and compute entropy measure descriptors for zeolites BCT and DFT using degree and degree-sum parameters. In addition, we perform bond-wise scaled comparative analysis between BCT and DFT which shows that zeolite BCT has greater entropy values compared to zeolite DFT.

Topological and Spectral Properties of Wavy Zigzag Nanoribbons

Low-dimensional graphene-based nanomaterials are interesting due to their cutting-edge electronic and magnetic properties. Their large surface area, strong mechanical resistance, and electronic properties have enabled potential pharmaceutical and opto-electronic applications. Graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) are graphene strips of nanometer size possessing zigzag and armchair edge geometries with tunable widths. Despite the recent developments in the characterization, design and synthesis of GNRs, the study of electronic, magnetic and topological properties, GNRs continue to pose a challenge owing to their multidimensionality. In this study, we obtain the topological and electronic properties of a series of wave-like nanoribbons comprising nanographene units with zigzag-shaped edges. The edge partition techniques based on the convex components are employed to compute the mathematical formulae of molecular descriptors for the wave-like zigzag GNRs. We have also obtained the spectral and energetic properties including HOMO-LUMO gaps, bond delocalization energies, resonance energies, 13C NMR and ESR patterns for the GNRs. All of these computations reveal zero to very low HOMO-LUMO gaps that make these nanoribbons potential candidates for topological spintronics.

Cyclic connectivity index of bipolar fuzzy incidence graph

In the performance characterization of chemical molecular structures, several uncertain properties are often encountered, and fuzzy theory is precisely the tool to characterize these uncertainties. When molecular structures are described by molecular graphs, the corresponding fuzzy graph theory is used to characterize the uncertainty of atoms and atomic bonds. In this study, there is introduced cyclic connectivity index and its average version for bipolar fuzzy incidence graph (BFIG), and several theoretical results are obtained in the light of graph theory and fuzzy theory. Finally, the given new fuzzy index is applied to the testing of anti-aging-related drugs yields average uncertainty data for the corresponding molecular structures.

Symmetry and Combinatorial Concepts for Cyclopolyarenes, Nanotubes and 2D-Sheets: Enumerations, Isomers, Structures Spectra & Properties

This review article highlights recent developments in symmetry, combinatorics, topology, entropy, chirality, spectroscopy and thermochemistry pertinent to 2D and 1D nanomaterials such as circumscribed-cyclopolyarenes and their heterocyclic analogs, carbon and heteronanotubes and heteronano wires, as well as tessellations of cyclopolyarenes, for example, kekulenes, septulenes and octulenes. We establish that the generalization of Sheehan’s modification of Pólya’s theorem to all irreducible representations of point groups yields robust generating functions for the enumeration of chiral, achiral, position isomers, NMR, multiple quantum NMR and ESR hyperfine patterns. We also show distance, degree and graph entropy based topological measures combined with techniques for distance degree vector sequences, edge and vertex partitions of nanomaterials yield robust and powerful techniques for thermochemistry, bond energies and spectroscopic computations of these species. We have demonstrated the existence of isentropic tessellations of kekulenes which were further studied using combinatorial, topological and spectral techniques. The combinatorial generating functions obtained not only enumerate the chiral and achiral isomers but also aid in the machine construction of various spectroscopic and ESR hyperfine patterns of the nanomaterials that were considered in this review. Combinatorial and topological tools can become an integral part of robust machine learning techniques for rapid computation of the combinatorial library of isomers and their properties of nanomaterials. Future applications to metal organic frameworks and fullerene polymers are pointed out.

Symmetry, Combinatorics, Artificial Intelligence, Music and Spectroscopy

Symmetry forms the foundation of combinatorial theories and algorithms of enumeration such as Möbius inversion, Euler totient functions, and the celebrated Pólya’s theory of enumeration under the symmetric group action. As machine learning and artificial intelligence techniques play increasingly important roles in the machine perception of music to image processing that are central to many disciplines, combinatorics, graph theory, and symmetry act as powerful bridges to the developments of algorithms for such varied applications. In this review, we bring together the confluence of music theory and spectroscopy as two primary disciplines to outline several interconnections of combinatorial and symmetry techniques in the development of algorithms for machine generation of musical patterns of the east and west and a variety of spectroscopic signatures of molecules. Combinatorial techniques in conjunction with group theory can be harnessed to generate the musical scales, intensity patterns in ESR spectra, multiple quantum NMR spectra, nuclear spin statistics of both fermions and bosons, colorings of hyperplanes of hypercubes, enumeration of chiral isomers, and vibrational modes of complex systems including supergiant fullerenes, as exemplified by our work on the golden fullerene C150,000. Combinatorial techniques are shown to yield algorithms for the enumeration and construction of musical chords and scales called ragas in music theory, as we exemplify by the machine construction of ragas and machine perception of musical patterns. We also outline the applications of Hadamard matrices and magic squares in the development of algorithms for the generation of balanced-pitch chords. Machine perception of musical, spectroscopic, and symmetry patterns are considered.
