Abstract

:
The utilizations of graph theory in chemistry and in the study of molecule structures are more than someone’s expectations, and, lately, it has increased exponentially. In molecular graphs, atoms are denoted by vertices and bonds by edges. In this paper, we focus on the molecular graph of (2D) silicon-carbon S i 2 C 3 -I and S i 2 C 3 - I I . Moreover, we have computed topological indices, namely general Randić Zagreb types indices, geometric arithmetic index, atom–bond connectivity index, fourth atom–bond connectivity and fifth geometric arithmetic index of S i 2 C 3 -I and S i 2 C 3 - I I .

1. Introduction

Every structural formula that includes covalent bonded compounds or molecules are graphs. Along these lines, they are called molecular graphs. Recently, chemical graph theory tools are used for numeration, systematization of the problem in hand, it provides the process of arranging laws or rules according to a system or planning, nomenclature, it provides the connection between the compounds or atoms, and computer programming. The significance of graph theory tools for science stands for the most part from the presence of isomerism, which is excused by substance diagram hypothesis. The pith of chemistry is the combinatorics of molecules as per clear principles. Along these lines, the most satisfactory numerical apparatuses for this design are graph hypothesis and combinatorics, the branches of arithmetic that are nearly related.
Silicon has numerous preferences over other semiconductor materials: It is, of minimal effort, it is nontoxic, essentially its accessibility is boundless, and behind it many years of involvement in purging, development and gadget creation. It is utilized for all cutting edge electronic gadgets.
The most reliable structures of two-dimensional (2D) silicon-carbon monolayer mixes with different stoichiometric blends were expected in [1] which in light of the molecule swarm streamlining signified as (PSO) method joined with thickness utilitarian hypothesis optimization.
The graphene sheets were effectively confined in [2,3] and from that point forward this honeycomb organized 2D material has roused and enlivened concentrated research interests to a great extent as a result of its surprising mechanical, electronic and optical properties, including its anomalous quantum Lobby influence, overwhelming electronic conductivity, and high mechanical quality. In particular, the intriguing electronic properties of graphene pull in see for this 2D material as a potential probability for applications in speedier and smaller electronic gadgets.
Like carbon, silicon additionally has a 2D allotrope with a honeycomb structure, in particular silicene. To date, bunches of exertion have been given to open a bandgap in silicene sheets. In addition, 2D silicon–carbon ( S i C ) monolayers can be seen as creation tunable materials between the unadulterated 2D carbon monolayer-graphene and the unadulterated 2D silicon monolayer-silicene. Loads of endeavors have been directed towards anticipating the most stable structures of the S i C sheet read this [4,5] for more data.
Given a graph G = ( V , E ) where V is the vertex set and E is the edge set of G, the degree d e g ( s ) of s is the quantity of spokes in G episode with s and is indicated as d ( s ) . A graph can be spoken to by a polynomial, a numerical esteem or by lattice frame. All the concepts of graph theory and combinatorics are used from the book of Harris et al. [6]. There are sure kinds of topological records for the most part capricious based, degree based and remove based files and so forth.
In 1975, M i l a n Randić [7] introduced the randic index as below:
R 1 2 ( G ) = s t E ( G ) 1 d ( s ) d ( t ) .
In 1988, Bollobás et al. [8] and Amic et al. [9] introduced the general Randić index independently. For more details about Randić index, its properties and important results, see [10,11,12,13]. The general Randić index is defined as:
R α ( G ) = s t E ( G ) ( d ( s ) d ( t ) ) α .
Estrada et al. [14] defined atom–bond connectivity index as:
A B C ( G ) = s t E ( G ) d ( s ) + d ( t ) 2 d ( s ) d ( t ) .
The geometric arithmetic index G A is introduced by Vukičević et al. [15] as:
G A ( G ) = s t E ( G ) 2 d ( s ) d ( t ) d ( s ) + d ( t ) .
The Zagreb indices were introduced by Gutman and Trinajestic in [16,17]. For more details about Zagreb indices, its properties and important results, see [18,19,20]:
M 1 ( G ) = s t E ( G ) ( d ( s ) + d ( t ) ) ,
M 2 ( G ) = s t E ( G ) ( d ( s ) d ( t ) ) .
Ghorbhani et al. [21] introduced the fourth version of atom–bond connectivity index A B C 4 as:
A B C 4 ( G ) = s t E ( G ) S ( s ) + S ( t ) 2 S ( s ) S ( t ) ,
where S ( s ) = s t E ( G ) d ( t ) and S ( t ) = s t E ( G ) d ( s ) . For more details about the fourth version of atom–bond connectivity index, its properties and important results, see [9,22,23,24,25].
Graovoc et al. [26] introduced the fifth version of geometric arithmetic index G A 5 as:
G A 5 ( G ) = s t E ( G ) 2 S ( s ) S ( t ) S ( s ) + S ( t ) .

2. Applications of Topological Indices

The Randic index is a topological descriptor that has correlated with a lot of chemical characteristics of the molecules and has been found to the parallel to computing the boiling point and Kovats constants of the molecules. The atom–bond connectivity ( A B C ) index provides a very good correlation for the stability of linear alkanes as well as the branched alkanes and for computing the strain energy of cyclo alkanes [14]. To correlate with certain physico-chemical properties, G A index has much better predictive power than the predictive power of the Randic connectivity index [27]. The first and second Zagreb index were found to occur for computation of the total π -electron energy of the molecules within specific approximate expressions [28]. These are among the graph invariants, who were proposed for measurement of skeleton of branching of the carbon-atom [17].

3. Methods

To compute our results, we use the method of combinatorial computing, vertex partition method, edge partition method, graph theoretical tools, analytic techniques, degree counting method and sum of degrees of neighbours method. Moreover, we use the Matlab for mathematical calculations and verifications. We also use the maple for plotting these mathematical results.

4. Silicon Carbide S i 2 C 3 - I [ p , q ] 2D Structure

The 2D molecular graph of Silicon Carbide S i 2 C 3 -I is given in Figure 1. To describe its molecular graph, we have used the settings in this way: we define p as the number of connected unit cells in a row (chain) and by q we represents the number of connected rows each with p number of cell. In Figure 2, we gave a demonstration how the cells connect in a row (chain) and how one row connects to another row. We will denote this molecular graph by S i 2 C 3 - I [ p , q ] . Thus, the quantity of vertices in this graph is 10 p q and the number of edges are 15 p q 2 p 3 q .

4.1. Methodology of Silicon Carbide S i 2 C 3 - I [ p , q ] Formulas

For the computation of these formulas for Silicon Carbide S i 2 C 3 - I [ p , q ] , we use first a unit cell and then combine with another unit cell in horizontal direction and so on up to p unit cells. After this, we use first a unit cell and then combine with another unit cell in the vertical direction and so on up to q unit cells. Thus, we obtained Silicon Carbide [ p , q ] structure (see Figure 1). Now, for the computation of vertices, we use the Table 1 and Matlab software for generalizing these formulas of vertices. In the following table, V 1 represents the quantity of vertices of degree 1, V 2 represents the quantity of vertices of degree 2 and V 3 represents the quantity of vertices of degree 3.
Thus, finally, we calculate he number of vertices of degree 1 are 2, the quantity of vertices of degree 2 are 4 p + 2 + 6 ( q 1 ) and the number of vertices of degree 3 are 10 p q 4 p 6 q + 2 .
To find the abstracted indices, we will partition the edges of S i 2 C 3 - I [ p , q ] using the above methodology. Moreover, we use the combinatorial counting and standard edge partition. The first edge parcel contains one edge s t , where d ( t ) = 1 and deg ( u ) = 2 . The second edge parcel contains again only one edge s t , where d ( t ) = 1 and deg ( u ) = 3 . The third edge parcel contains ( p + 2 q ) edges s t , where d ( t ) = 2 and deg ( u ) = 2 . The fourth edge parcel contains 6 p 1 + 8 ( q 1 ) number of edges s t , where d ( t ) = 2 and deg ( u ) = 3 . The fifth edge parcel contains 15 p q 9 p 13 q + 7 number of edges s t , where deg ( u ) = d ( t ) = 3 . Table 2 shows the edge partition of S i 2 C 3 - I [ p , q ] with p , q 1 . Finally, for comparison of these indices, we plot its diagram in maple software (see Figures 3,4,7 and 8).

5. Silicon Carbide S i 2 C 3 - II [ p , q ] 2D Structure

The 2D molecular graph of Silicon Carbide S i 2 C 3 - I I is given in Figure 5. To describe its molecular graph, we have used the settings in this way: we define p as the number of connected unit cells in a row (chain) and, by q, we represent the number of connected rows, each with p number of cells. In Figure 6, we gave a demonstration of how the cells connect in a row (chain) and how one row connects to another row. We will denote this molecular graph by S i 2 C 3 - I I [ p , q ] . Thus, the quantity of vertices in this graph is 10 p q and the number of edges are 15 p q 3 p 3 q .

5.1. Methodology of Silicon Carbide S i 2 C 3 - I I [ p , q ] Formulas

For the computation of these formulas for Silicon Carbide S i 2 C 3 - I I [ p , q ] , we first use a unit cell and then combine it with another unit cell in the horizontal direction and so on up to p unit cells. After this, we use first a unit cell and then combine it with another unit cell in the vertical direction and so on up to q unit cells. Thus, we obtained Silicon Carbide S i 2 C 3 - I I [ p , q ] structure (see Figure 5). Now, for the computation of vertices, we use Table 14 and Matlab software for generalizing these formulas of vertices. In the following table, V 1 represents the quantity of vertices of degree 1, V 2 represents the quantity of vertices of degree 2 and V 3 represents the quantity of vertices of degree 3.
Now, in general, the quantity of vertices of degree 1 are 3, the quantity of vertices of degree 2 are 6 ( p + q 1 ) , the quantity of vertices of degree 3 are 10 p q 6 p 6 q + 3 .
To find the abstracted indices, we will partition the edges of S i 2 C 3 - I I [ p , q ] using the above methodology. Moreover, we use the combinatorial counting and standard edge partition. The first edge parcel contains 2 edge s t , where deg ( u ) = 2 and d ( t ) = 1 . The second edge parcel contains only one edge s t , where deg ( u ) = 3 and d ( t ) = 1 . The third edge parcel contains 2 ( p + q ) edges s t , where deg ( u ) = 2 and d ( t ) = 2 . The fourth edge parcel contains 8 p + 8 q 14 number of edges s t , where deg ( u ) = 3 and d ( t ) = 2 . The fifth edge parcel contains 15 p q 13 p 13 q + 11 number of edges s t , where deg ( u ) = d ( t ) = 3 . Table 15 shows the edge partition of S i 2 C 3 - I I [ p , q ] with p , q 1 .

  • The first and second Zagreb index
Let G be the graph of S i 2 C 3 - I I [ p , q ] . Now, by using Table 15, the first Zagreb index is computed as below (see Table 22):
M 1 ( G ) = s t E ( G ) ( d ( s ) + d ( t ) ) , M 1 ( G ) = ( 2 ) ( 2 + 1 ) + ( 1 ) ( 3 + 1 ) + ( 2 p + 2 q ) ( 2 + 2 ) + ( 8 p + 8 q 14 ) ( 3 + 2 ) + ( 15 p q 13 p 13 q + 11 ) ( 3 + 3 ) , M 1 ( G ) = 90 p q 30 p 30 q + 6 .

  • The fourth atom–bond connectivity index A B C 4 S i 2 C 3 I I [ p , q ]
Let G be the graph of Silicon Carbide of type S i 2 C 3 - I I [ p , q ] . Now, by using Table 24, the fourth atom–bond connectivity index is computed as (see Table 25):
A B C 4 ( G ) = s t E ( G ) S ( s ) + S ( t ) 2 S ( s ) S ( t ) , A B C 4 ( G ) = ( 2 ) 3 + 2 2 3 × 2 + ( 1 ) 7 + 3 2 7 × 3 + ( 2 ) 4 + 3 2 4 × 3 + ( 2 ) 5 + 4 2 5 × 4 + ( 2 p + 2 q 4 ) 5 + 5 2 5 × 5 + ( 2 p + 2 q ) 7 + 5 2 7 × 5 + 2 ( p + q 1 ) 7 + 6 2 7 × 6 + ( 2 p + 2 q 6 ) 8 + 6 2 8 × 6 + ( 2 p + 2 q 6 ) 8 + 5 2 8 × 5 + ( 2 ) 8 + 7 2 8 × 7 + 2 ( p + q 4 ) 8 + 8 2 8 × 8 + ( 2 ) 7 + 7 2 7 × 7 + ( 2 p + 2 q 3 ) 9 + 7 2 9 × 7 + ( 2 p + 2 q 5 ) 9 + 8 2 9 × 8 + ( 15 p q 19 p 19 q + 23 ) 9 + 9 2 9 × 9 .
After an easy calculation, we get:
A B C 4 ( G ) = 20 3 p q + ( p + q ) 22 2 15 + 2 2 7 + 2 11 42 + 11 10 + 14 4 + 1 3 15 2 67 / 9 + 2 + 2 2 21 + 2 5 5 3 + 7 5 13 2 5 2 11 42 3 11 10 + 13 14 14 + 4 3 7 5 6 15 2 + 65 9 .
  • The fifth geometric arithmetic index G A 5 S i 2 C 3 I I [ p , q ]
Let G be the graph of S i 2 C 3 - I I [ p , q ] . Now, by using Table 24, the fifth geometric arithmetic index is computed as (see Table 26):
G A 5 ( G ) = s t E ( G ) 2 S ( s ) S ( t ) S ( s ) + S ( t ) , G A 5 ( G ) = ( 2 ) 2 3 × 2 3 + 2 + ( 1 ) 2 7 × 3 7 + 3 + ( 2 ) 2 4 × 3 4 + 3 + ( 2 ) 2 5 × 4 5 + 4 + ( 2 p + 2 q 4 ) 2 5 × 5 5 + 5 + ( 2 p + 2 q ) 2 7 × 5 7 + 5 + 2 ( p + q 1 ) 2 7 × 6 7 + 6 + ( 2 p + 2 q 6 ) 2 8 × 6 8 + 6 + ( 2 p + 2 q 6 ) 2 8 × 5 8 + 5 + ( 2 ) 2 8 × 7 8 + 7 + 2 ( p + q 4 ) 2 8 × 8 8 + 8 + ( 2 ) 2 7 × 7 7 + 7 + ( 2 p + 2 q 3 ) 2 9 × 7 9 + 7 + ( 2 p + 2 q 5 ) 2 9 × 8 9 + 8 + ( 15 p q 19 p 19 q + 23 ) 2 9 × 9 9 + 9 , G A 5 ( G ) = 15 p q + ( p + q ) 35 3 + 4 42 13 + 8 3 7 + 8 10 13 + 3 7 4 + 24 2 17 15 + 4 6 5 + 21 5 + 8 3 7 + 8 5 9 4 42 13 24 3 7 24 10 13 + 8 14 15 9 7 8 60 2 17 + 13 .
  • Comparison of topological indices for S i 2 C 3 - I I [ p , q ]
We presented the comparison of topological indices for S i 2 C 3 - I I [ p , q ] graphically in Figure 8.

6. Comparisons and Discussion

In this section, we have computed all indices for different values of p , q for both structures S i 2 C 3 - I [ p , q ] and S i 2 C 3 - I I [ p , q ] . In addition, we construct Table 3, Table 4, Table 5, Table 6, Table 7, Table 8, Table 9, Table 10, Table 12 and Table 13 for small values of p , q for these topological indices to the structure S i 2 C 3 - I [ p , q ] and Table 16, Table 17, Table 18, Table 19, Table 20, Table 21, Table 22, Table 23, Table 25 and Table 26 to the structure S i 2 C 3 - I I [ p , q ] . Now, from Table 27 and Table 28, we can easily see that all indices are in increasing order as the values of p , q are increases. In addition, on the other hand, indices showed higher values for S i 2 C 3 - I [ p , q ] , as compared to those of S i 2 C 3 - I I [ p , q ] .
The graphical representations of topological indices of S i 2 C 3 - I [ p , q ] and S i 2 C 3 - I I [ p , q ] are depicted in Figure 3, Figure 4, Figure 7 and Figure 8 for certain values of p , q .
Now, we presented the comparison of all topological indices using Table 27, for S i 2 C 3 - I [ p , q ] in Figure 9 and using Table 28, for S i 2 C 3 - I I [ p , q ] in Figure 10.

7. Conclusions

We have studied and computed additive degree based topological indices, mainly atom–bond connectivity A B C index, general Randić index, first and second Zagreb index, geometric arithmetic G A index, fourth atom–bond connectivity A B C 4 index and fifth geometric arithmetic G A 5 index of two types of 2D Silicon Carbide, namely S i 2 C 3 - I [ p , q ] and S i 2 C 3 - I I [ p , q ] .
Since the Randic index is a topological descriptor that has correlated with a lot of chemical characteristics of the molecules. Thus, it has been found that the boiling point of S i 2 C 3 - I [ p , q ] and S i 2 C 3 - I I [ p , q ] - I [ p , q ] is varying in increasing order for α { 1 , 1 , 1 / 2 , 1 / 2 } .
Since the atom-bond connectivity ( A B C ) index provides a very good correlation for computing the strain energy of molecules, one can easily be seen that the strain energy of S i 2 C 3 - I [ p , q ] and S i 2 C 3 - I I [ p , q ] - I [ p , q ] is high as the values of p , q increases.
In addition, G A index has much better predictive power than the predictive power of the Randic index, so the G A index is more useful than the Randic index for α { 1 , 1 / 2 } as compared to the Randic index for α { 1 , 1 / 2 } in the case of S i 2 C 3 - I [ p , q ] and S i 2 C 3 - I I [ p , q ] - I [ p , q ] .
Since the first and second Zagreb indexes were found to occur for computation of the total π -electron energy of the molecules, in the case of S i 2 C 3 - I [ p , q ] and S i 2 C 3 - I I [ p , q ] - I [ p , q ] , their values provide total π -electron energy in increasing order for higher values of p , q .
However, computing the distance based and counting related topological indices for these symmetrical chemical structures still remain open for investigation and as a challenge for researchers.
