Optimal molecular connectivity descriptors for nitrogen-containing molecules

摘要

We report on optimal molecular connectivity descriptors for nitrogen atoms in amines for use in structure-property correlations. The descriptors represent generalized molecular connectivity indices with adjusted diagonal entries in the adjacency matrices of the corresponding molecular graphs, such that the standard error in a regression for boiling points in a set of amines is minimized. Advantages of the so-optimized descriptors for multivariate regression analysis in structure-property-activity studies are discussed. (C) 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. [References: 21]
