Intuitive Chemical Topology Concepts. / In
1 Intuitive Chemical Topology Concepts Eugene V. Babaev Moscow State University, Moscow 119899, RUSSIA 1. Introduction During last two decades, chemistry underwent a strong influence from nonroutine mathematical methods. Chemical applications of graph theory [1–10], topology [11–18], and related fields of fundamental mathematics [21–27] are growing rapidly. This trend may indicate the birth of a novel interdisciplinary field, mathematical chemistry, imperceptibly flourishing on the border of chemistry and pure mathematics. The term “chemical topology” (the title of this volume) has become frequent in papers, books, and scientific conferences. Similarly, the term molecular topology (differing in its sense from molecular geometry) has become frequently used, although there may exist diverse viewpoints on the meaning of this concept. The key difference between topology and geometry is that in geometry the concepts of distances and angles are important, whereas in topology they are not. Instead, the essential topological properties are connectedness and continuity. Chemical structural formulas are good examples of topological models of molecules: the pattern of connectivity between atoms is essential, whereas the interatomic distances and angles are less important and may be neglected. A colloquial definition of topology is “rubber” geometry. Indeed, one may consider a topological object made of an ideal elastic material, so that any deformation (like stretching or distortion) retains points of this elastic object “close enough” one to another. In contrast, cutting separates previously close points, and any joining of parts makes points “closer” one to another. Such a continuous transformation of an object without cutting and joining any parts is called homeomorphism. (The term should not be confused with homomorphism.) The study of properties that are invariant to homeomorphic transformations is the fundamental goal of topology. -
From Chemical Topology to Molecular Machines Nobel Lecture, December 8, 2016 by Jean-Pierre Sauvage University of Strasbourg, Strasbourg, France
From Chemical Topology to Molecular Machines Nobel Lecture, December 8, 2016 by Jean-Pierre Sauvage University of Strasbourg, Strasbourg, France. o a large extent, the eld of “molecular machines” started aer several groups T were able to prepare reasonably easily interlocking ring compounds (named catenanes for compounds consisting of interlocking rings and rotaxanes for rings threaded by molecular laments or axes). Important families of molecular machines not belonging to the interlocking world were also designed, prepared and studied but, for most of them, their elaboration was more recent than that of catenanes or rotaxanes. Since the creation of interlocking ring molecules is so important in relation to the molecular machinery area, we will start with this aspect of our work. e second part will naturally be devoted to the dynamic properties of such systems and to the compounds for which motions can be directed in a controlled manner from the outside, i.e., molecular machines. We will restrict our discussion to a very limited number of examples which we con- sider particularly representative of the eld. CHEMICAL TOPOLOGY Generally speaking, chemical topology refers to molecules whose graph (i.e., their representation based on atoms and bonds) is non-planar [1–2]. A planar graph cannot be represented in a plane or on a sheet of paper without crossing points. In topology, the object can be distorted as much as one likes but its topo- logical properties are not modied as long as no cleavage occurs [3]. In other 111 112 The Nobel Prizes words, a circle and an ellipse are topologically identical. -

Topological Analysis of Electron Density
Jyväskylä Summer School on Charge Density August 2007 Topological Analysis of Electron Density Louis J Farrugia Jyväskylä Summer School on Charge Density August 2007 What is topological analysis ? A method of obtaining chemically significant information from th e electron density ρ (rho ) ρ is a quantum -mechanical observable , and may also be obtained from experiment “It seems to me that experimental study of the scattered radiati on, in particular from light atoms, should get more attention, since in this way it should be possible to determine the arrangement of the electrons in the atoms.” P. Debye, Ann. Phys. (1915) 48 , 809. Jyväskylä Summer School on Charge Density August 2007 Why analyse the charge density ? The traditional way of approaching the theoretical basis of chem istry is though the wavefunction and the molecular orbitals obtained through (approximate) solutions to the Schr ödinger wave equation HHΨΨ == EE ΨΨ The Hohenberg -Kohn theorem confirmed that the density, ρ(r), is the fundamental property that characterises the ground state of a sy stem - once ρ(r) is known, the energy of the system is uniquely defined, and from there a diverse range of molecular properties can, in princ iple, be deduced. Thus a knowledge of ρ(r) opens the door to understanding of all the key challenges of chemistry. ρ is a quantum -mechanical observable. 9 P. Hohenberg, W. Kohn Phys. Rev. 1964 , 136 , B864.

Mathematical Chemistry! Is It? and If So, What Is It?
Mathematical Chemistry! Is It? And if so, What Is It? Douglas J. Klein Abstract: Mathematical chemistry entailing the development of novel mathe- matics for chemical applications is argued to exist, and to manifest an extreme- ly diverse range of applications. Yet further it is argued to have a substantial history of well over a century, though the field has perhaps only attained a de- gree of recognition with a formal widely accepted naming in the last few dec- ades. The evidence here for the broad range and long history is by way of nu- merous briefly noted example sub-areas. That mathematical chemistry was on- ly recently formally recognized is seemingly the result of its having been somewhat disguised for a period of time – sometimes because it was viewed as just an unnamed part of physical chemistry, and sometimes because the rather frequent applications in other chemical areas were not always viewed as math- ematical (often involving somewhat ‘non-numerical’ mathematics). Mathemat- ical chemistry’s relation to and distinction from computational chemistry & theoretical chemistry is further briefly addressed. Keywords : mathematical chemistry, physical chemistry, computational chemistry, theoretical chemistry. 1. Introduction Chemistry is a rich and complex science, exhibiting a diversity of reproduci- ble and precisely describable predictions. Many predictions are quantitative numerical predictions and also many are of a qualitative (non-numerical) nature, though both are susceptible to sophisticated mathematical formaliza- tion. As such, it should naturally be anticipated that there is a ‘mathematical chemistry’, rather likely with multiple roots and with multiple aims. Mathe- matical chemistry should focus on mathematically novel ideas and concepts adapted or developed for use in chemistry (this view being much in parallel with that for other similarly named mathematical fields, in physics, or in biology, or in sociology, etc. -

Chemical Graph Theory and the Sherlock Holmes Principle
Chemical Graph Theory and the Sherlock Holmes Principle Alexandru T. Balaban Dedicated to Professor Lemont B. Kier for his 80 th anniversary Abstract : The development of chemical applications of graph theory is re- viewed from a personal perspective. Graph-theoretical methods for finding all graphs fulfilling certain mathematical conditions followed by eliminating chemically impossible solutions are equivalent to the ‘Sherlock Holmes prin- ciple’. For molecular graphs, this is illustrated by monocyclic aromatic systems and by valence isomers of annulenes. Using dualist graphs for benzenoids and diamond hydrocarbons it was possible to develop simple encoding systems that allowed convenient enumerations of isomers. Starting with the invention of reaction graphs in 1966 that included the Petersen graph which is also the 5- cage (the smallest graph with girth 5) two gaps were filled by discovering the first 10-cage and the unique 11-cage, showing how chemical clues can lead to interesting mathematical developments. Graphs of a third type are represented by synthon graphs that are helping chemical synthesis. Connections between chemical structure and molecular properties allow the design of biologically active substances on the basis of quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSARs). Some of the simplest tools for QSAR are topological indices and they are briefly discussed. Keywords : mathematical chemistry, molecular graphs, reaction graphs, synthon graphs, topological indices, QSAR . 1. Introduction This article presents a personal account of the author’s research activity cen- tered on chemical applications of graph theory including an overview of the interactions between chemistry and discrete mathematics. A few previous retrospective essays have been published earlier (Balaban 1993a, 1995, 2000b, 2005, 2011a, 2012a,b). -
The Bond-Valence Substituent Index for Predicting the Boiling Temperatures of Aliphatic Hydrocarbons

ISSN 0115-2130 (Print); 2508-0911 (Online) https://doi.org/10.26534/kimika.v31i1.38-55 The Bond-Valence Substituent Index for Predicting the Boiling Temperatures of Aliphatic Hydrocarbons Florentino C. Sumera*, Stephani Jacutin, Jan Michael Aficial and Aileen Filipino Institute of Chemistry, University of the Philippines, Diliman, Quezon City, Philippines *Author to whom correspondence should be addressed; email: [email protected] ABSTRACT A simple molecular descriptor based on molecular structure for predicting the boiling temperature (BT) of alkanes was developed in this paper. This topological index was used to correlate the boiling temperature of aliphatic hydrocarbons with their bond-valence substituent structure instead of by atom-to-atom branching framework. The predictive power of the bond-valence substituent index (BVSI) was evaluated by comparing it with the popular predictor in literature, the Randic index and the more recently proposed index, the Fi of Manso et al. (2012). The model developed through a second order regression of the plot of the alkane’s boiling temperature versus the BVSI index proved successful in its predictive power such that the method was also applied to a combination of aliphatic hydrocarbons, the alkanes, alkenes, alkynes and cycloalkanes. This topological index provided higher correlation with small deviations compared to the topological index used for comparison. A further study of the BVSI index can be explored for other organic compounds with different functional groups and other physical properties besides their boiling temperatures in the future. -

A systematic full topological analysis of this function is lacking, seemingly in contrast to the blossoming in the last 20 years of many studies on the topological features of other scalar fields of chemical interest. We aim to fill this gap by unveiling the kind of information hidden in the spin density distribution that only its topology can disclose. The significance of the spin density critical points, the 18 different ways in which they can be realized and the peculiar topological constraints on their number and kind, arising from the presence of positive and negative spin density regions, is addressed. -
Chemical Graph Theory-Facts and Fiction
Indian Journal of Chemistry Vol. 42A, June 2003, pp. 1207- 1218 Review Chemical graph theory-Facts and fiction Milan Randic National Institute of Chemistry, Hajdrihova 19, Ljubljana. Slovenia Received 31 January 2003 Graph Theory (GT) and its applications in chemistry, the so-call ed Chemical Graph Theory (CGT), appear to be two of the most misunderstood areas of theoretical chemi stry. We outline briefly possible causes for mi sunderstanding and suggest remedies, incl uding a test on the knowledge of GT and CGT. Introduction "primitive." The Conjugated Circuits method Graph Theory (GT) is a not so young branch of enumerates circuits within individual Kekule valence discrete mathematics. It is generally accepted that it structures of polycyclic conjugated hydrocarbons started with Leonhard Euler's paper I on the seven circuits in which there is a regular alternation of CC l9 bridges of Konigsberg published in 1736. It has single and CC double bonds . The outcomes of such received due attention after the first book on Graph enumeration are analytical expressions for molecular 20 Theori, which appeared two hundred years later, was resonance energy (RE). Schaad and Hess have published in 1936. Since then GT became one of the shown that the method of Conjugated Circuits is fastest expanding branched of mathematics, the closely related to Herndon's Resonance Theory21, a importance of which has been particularly recognized variant of VB calculations based solely on the set of in its role with development of the algorithms for Kekule valence structures of a molecule, that has been 22 computer applications of GT3. Graph theory has been in fact considered some time ago by Simpson , but 4 accepted and appreciated in physics as well as in was mostly (undeservingly) overlooked.
