Abstract

The similarity of 608 molecular descriptors (including topological and geometrical indices) is measured using correlation coefficients. The computations are based on a library of 10946 diverse compounds. As a result the second Zagreb index M2 and mwc(3) the molecular walk count of length 3 were found and proven to be affined dependent: mwc3 = 2M2.
