Abstract

Mathematical chemistry is a branch of mathematics that uses mathematical tools to solve chemical problems. In this paper, we calculate the harmonic index and harmonic polynomial of some chemical graphs, among graphene, star dendrimers, polyomino chains from n cycles and triangular benzene, polymolecular graphs, carbon nanotube networks, two classes of benzene-like series, nanocone, spiro chain, and polyphenylenes.
