| Summary: | Dendrimers are highly branched, star-shaped macromolecules with nanometer-scale dimensions. Dendrimers are defined by three components: a central core, an interior dendritic structure (the branches), and an exterior surface with functional surface groups. Topological indices are numerical numbers that help us to understand the topology of different dendrimers and can be used to predict the properties without performing experiments in the wet lab. In the present paper, we computed the Sombor index and the reduced version of the Sombor index for the molecular graphs of phosphorus-containing dendrimers, porphyrin-cored dendrimers, PDI-cored dendrimers, triazine-based dendrimers, and aliphatic polyamide dendrimers. We also plotted our results by using Maple 2015 which help us to see the dependence of the Sombor index and reduced Sombor index on the involved parameters. Our results may help to develop better understanding about phosphorus-containing dendrimers, porphyrin-cored dendrimers, PDI-cored dendrimers, triazine-based dendrimers, and aliphatic polyamide dendrimers. Our results are also useful in the pharmaceutical industry and drug delivery. |
