Peer reviewedHansen, Peter J.; Jurs, Peter C. – Journal of Chemical Education, 1988
Explores graph theory and use of topological indices to predict boiling points. Lists three indices: Wiener Number, Randic Branching Index and Molecular Connectivity, and Molecular Identification numbers. Warns of inadequacies with stereochemistry. (ML)
