Abstract

This paper reports a study in which we attempted to derive structure property relationships using topological indices for predicting selected properties of RDX and related compounds used as explosives and propellants. In addition, we have also proposed topological method for estimating these compounds. The topological indices used being Szeged (Sz) -, Wiener (W)-, normalized Szeged (Sz/N2)- and Wiener (W/N2)-indices. The results have shown that we are quite successful in this respect.
