Abstract

The eccentric connectivity polynomial of a molecular graph G is defined as ECP(G,x) = Σx∈V(G)xecc(x), where ecc(x) is defined as the length of a maximal path connecting x to a vertex of G. In this paper this polynomial is computed for an infinite family of fullerenes.

Keywords

Fullerene, Eccentric connectivity polynomial, Eccentric connectivity index.
