Research Article Degree-Based Topological Indices of Boron B 12

Topological index sometimes called molecular descriptor is a numerical value which associates a chemical composition for correlating chemical structure with numerous physical properties, chemical reactivity, or biological activity. In this paper, we study some topological indices of boron and try to correlate the physicochemical properties such as freezing points, boiling points, melting points, infrared spectrum, electronic parameters, viscosity, and density of chemical graphs. We discuss these topological indices, and some of them are mentioned here such as Randic index, the ﬁrst general Zagreb index, the general sum connectivity index, hyper-Zagreb index (HM), the atom-bond connectivity index (ABC), the geometric-arithmetic index (GA), the harmonic index ( H ), and the forgotten index ( F ).


Introduction and Applications
A chemical graph theory is an outlet of mathematical chemistry which applied graph theory to the molecular structure of chemical compounds. Topological index is a part of chemical graph theory which correlates the physicochemical properties such as freezing point, boiling point, melting point, infrared spectrum, electronic parameters, viscosity, and density of the underlying chemical graphs. e reader can find bulk of papers on topological indices which have been in print so far [1][2][3][4][5].
A graph can be recognized by a polynomial, a matrix, a sequence of numbers, or a numeric number which represents the whole graph, and these representations are designed to be uniquely defined for that graph. Topological indices are major tools for analyzing many physicochemical properties of molecules without performing any testing. Some most significant types of topological indices of graphs are distance-based topological indices, degree-based topological indices, and spectrum-based topological indices. One of the most investigated categories of topological indices used in mathematical chemistry is called degree-based topological indices, which are defined in terms of the degrees of the vertices of a graph.
Topological index is a graph invariant which characterizes the topology of the molecular structure and converts the molecular graph into a real number that predicts some physicochemical properties such as freezing point, boiling point, and melting point. Nowadays, a biological testing of chemical compounds is too much expensive. It requires a very large laboratory and advanced equipment to test these compounds. is process is costly and time-consuming. Due to this factor, pharmaceutical companies are very eager to find such new ideas or methods by which cost could be reduced. One can reduce the cost in which no need of laboratories and no need of equipment, but just need to study the certain chemical structure using topological indices Topological indices are of different types such as degreebased topological indices, distance-based topological indices, and spectrum-based topological indices. e notion of topological index was discovered in 1947 when Harold Wiener was working on the boiling point of paraffin. He named this index as path number. Later on, the path number was renamed as the Wiener index, and then the theory of topological index started. e Wiener index is the first and the most studied topological index. Wiener index is defined as the sum of distances among all the sets of vertices in G [6]. Among all the types of topological indices, degree-based topological indices play an extensive role in chemical graph theory [7]. at motivated us to study the chemical structure of boron B 12 under this phenomenon. B 12 is a two-dimensional icosahedral network. A recent study of high-pressure solid boron affirmed that the icosahedral B 12 -containing structures are quite universal [8]. On the other hand, previous experimental and theoretical studies of freestanding boron clusters have shown that the B 12 structure is unstable in the gas phase [9,10]. e (n, m) unit of boron B 12 structure is given in the figure, where "n" represents the number of rows and "m" represents the number of columns of the boron B 12 structure.
Let G be a simple graph with order p and size q. Let d v represent the degree of the vertex v and is defined as the number of edges incident on v. Let S v represent the sum of the degree of all the neighbors of v [11]. Graph theory is closely connected to the computer science, applied mathematics, optimization theory, web designing, operation research, biology, and chemistry. e general Randic connectivity index of G is defined as where α represents a real number. If α is − 1/2, then R − 1/2 (G) is said to be the Randic connectivity index of G. Gutman and Trinajstic presented the first general Zagreb index in 1972 [12]: In 2010, the general sum connectivity index χ α (G) has been invented: e ABC index was presented by Estrada and Torres et al. in [13]. e ABC index of graph G is expressed as Das announced the geometric-arithmetic (GA) index in [14,15]. e geometric-arithmetic index denoted by GA for graph G is presented by In 2013, the hyper-Zagreb index has been introduced by Shirdel et al. as In 2012, Zhang introduced the harmonic index. It is defined as follows [16]: After working on the Zagreb index, in 2015, Furtula and Gutman introduce the forgotten index F(G): Ghorbani and Azimi proposed two new types of Zagreb indices of a graph G in 2012. PM 1 is the first multiple Zagreb index, and PM 2 is the second multiple Zagreb index [6]: M 1 (G, p) and M 2 (G, p), the first Zagreb polynomial and the second Zagreb polynomial [12,17], respectively, are defined as Recently, Furtula et al. proposed the second Zagreb index: After the success of the ABC index, Furtula et al. put forward its modified version in 2010 that they somewhat inadequately named "augmented Zagreb index." It is defined as follows [18]: e invariant RR seems to be first encountered in a paper by Favaron, Mah'eo. e reciprocal Randic index is defined as follows: In the same manner, the reduced second Zagreb index (equation (13)), is related to the ordinary second Zagreb index (equation (12)). e reduced reciprocal Randic index might be viewed as the reduced analogue of the reciprocal Randic index (equation (15)): Vukicevic et al. introduce the symmetric division deg index in 2010 [19,20] as 2 Journal of Chemistry Vukicevic and Gašperov in [20] initiated the study on the inverse sum indeg index of a network. e inverse sum indeg index is defined as follows [21]: Another index which belongs to the 4th class of ABC index was invented by Ghorbani and Hosseinzadeh in 2010 [22] as e fifth class of geometric-arithmetic index, denoted by GA 5 , was presented by Graovac et al. in 2011 [23] as

Main Results of Boron B 12 Graph
In this paper, we deal with the topological properties of boron B 12 . Boron B 12 is a two-dimensional icosahedral network. A recent study of high-pressure solid boron affirmed that the icosahedral B 12 -containing structures are quite universal [8].
On the other hand, previous experimental and theoretical studies of freestanding boron clusters have shown that the B 12 structure is unstable in the gas phase [9,10]. e molecular graph of Boron B 12 is shown in Figure 1. ere are 11mn + 11m + 11n + 9 vertices and 24mn + 22m + 22n + 18 edges. Theorem 1. Let G be the boron B 12 network with m > 1 and n > 1, then Proof. In G, there are total 11mn + 11m + 11n + 9 vertices.
ere are 2m + 2n vertices of degree 2, 2mn + m + n + 3 vertices of degree 3, 3mn + 3m + 3n + 3 vertices of degree 4, and 36mn + 5m + 5n + 3 vertices of degree 5. Since M α is expressed in equation (2), In the following six theorems, we considered the Randic index, sum connectivity index, ABC index, GA index, harmonic index, reduced Randic index, forgotten index, symmetric division deg index, inverse sum indeg index, ABC 4 index, and GA 5 index. is is the edge partition of boron B 12 on the basis of starting and ending vertices of each edge, and we proceed this edge division to compute the topological indices.
Theorem 2. Let G be the boron B 12 network with m > 1 and n > 1, then Proof.
Proof. Let G be the network of boron B 12 . e edge set E(G) is distributed in seven categories which depend on the degree of end vertices of each edge. e disjoint set is represented by e r,s . e first disjoint set is e 2,4 , the second disjoint set is e 2,5 , the third disjoint set is e 3,4 , the fourth disjoint set is e 3,5 , the fifth disjoint set is e 4,4 , the sixth disjoint set is e 4,5 , and the seventh disjoint set is e 5,5 . By using formulas (7), (15), and (16), we get the desired results.

Conclusion
We have computed the following topological indices such as Zagreb index, the Randic index, sum connectivity index, ABC index, GA index, hyper-Zagreb index, multiple Zagreb indices, Zagreb polynomials, reduced second Zagreb index, augmented Zagreb index, harmonic index, reduced Randic index, reduced reciprocal Randic index, forgotten index, ABC 4 index, and GA 5 index for boron B 12 structure.
In cheminformatics, Randic index is used to study the organic compounds. It is correlated with physicochemical properties of alkane such as boiling points, surface area, and enthalpy of formation. ABC index is based on some physicochemical properties like the stability of cyclo-alkane as well as strain energy. GA index has more predictive power than Randic and ABC index. Multiple Zagreb indices and Zagreb polynomials are applied to predict the bioactivity of graphs. e forgotten index is correlated with some chemical properties relating to energies of molecular graphs. AZI index is a valuable predictive index which is used in the study of the heat of formation. RRR index is used to study the normal boiling points of the graphs.
We have discussed the graph theoretically not experimentally. e results obtained in this paper provide a significant contribution to graph theory and correlate the chemical structure of boron B 12 with the large amount of information about physicochemical properties.
