Abstract
Molecular descriptors play a significant role in many areas such as chemistry and pharmacology. Among these, topological indices have a prominent place. In this paper, we focus on the structure of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and calculate theta, Pi and Sadhana indices of nanostructures. These indices on the ground of quasi-orthogonal cut ‘qoc’ edge strips in molecular graph. Also, the exact formulae for connectivity indices of nanotubes and nanotori are presented in this manuscript. These topological indices are useful for surveying structure of nanostructures, which have a relationship with degrees of their vertices.
