| Summary: | Carbon nanocones, characterized by planar networks primarily consisting of hexagonal carbon faces and a few pentagons in the core, hold significant promise in various fields such as electronics, medicine, and material research due to their exceptional properties. This study exclusively investigates the topological descriptors of symmetrically configured carbon nanocones, specifically nanocones with two and three pentagonal core respectively. By modeling these structures as chemical graphs and employing molecular descriptors, we aim to provide a quantitative analysis of the structures without laboratory experimentation. The quotient graph approach is employed to determine the distance based descriptors, namely wiener, szeged and Padmakar-Ivan indices for these symmetrically configured carbon nanocones. The analytically closed formulas determined could be useful in quantitative structure-property-activity relationship studies, which helps in predicting the physico-chemical properties of the underlying structures. Thus the findings in this work not only deepen our understanding of symmetric carbon nanocones but also pave the way for significant advancements in nanotechnology and materials science. |
