A new perspective on the modeling and topological characterization of H-Naphtalenic nanosheets with applications

In the past few years, two-dimensional (2D) layered nanomaterials have greatly attracted the scientific community. Among 2D nanomaterials, the porphyrin-based Naphtalenic nanosheets have been the subject of intense research due to their utilization in photo-dynamic therapy and nanodevices. New technologies based on nanomaterials or Naphtalenic nanosheet are advantageous in overcoming the problems in conventional drug delivery like poor solubility, toxicity and poor release pattern of drugs. In chemical network theory, various molecular descriptors are used to predict the chemical properties of molecules; these molecular descriptors are found to be very useful for Quantitative Structure–Activity/ Quantitative Structure–Property (QSAR/QSPR) relationship analysis in materials engineering, chemical and pharmaceutical industries. Researchers have computed the molecular descriptors for various nanostructures; however, despite intense research, the topology of nanostructures is not yet well understood. Specially, to our knowledge, the computation of topological indices for the line graph of subdivision graph of H-Naphtalenic nanosheet has not been discussed so far, which may open new perspectives for a more accurate and reliable topological characterization of this nanosheet. In this article, we employed some important degree-based topological indices to study the chemical structure of Naphtalenic nanosheet as a chemical network for QSAR/QSPR analysis. We have computed these degree-based topological indices for the line graph of subdivision graph of H-Naphtalenic nanosheet and derived formulas for them. Based on the derived formulas, numerical results are obtained and the physical and chemical properties of the under study nanosheet are investigated.
