1. Introduction
A branch of scientific chemistry is Chemical graph hypothesis, which relates to the nontrivial utilizations of graph hypothesis for taking care of the atomic issues. Its pioneers are Alexandru Balaban [
1], Ante Graovac [
2], Ivan Gutman [
3], Milan Randić [
4] and Nenad Trinajstić [
5]. Chemical graph theory utilizes mathematical invariants to limit the structure of a particle into a solitary number which signifies the energy of molecule, structural sections, sub-atomic stretching and electronic structures. These graph theoretic invariants are utilized to connect with physical perceptions ascertained by experiments. In [
6], chemical graph hypothesis ought to be seen not just as equivalent to different branches of theoretical chemistry but also as corresponding and essential for better comprehension of the idea of the compound structure.
There are sure synthetic intensifies that are valuable for the survival of living things. Carbon, oxygen, hydrogen and nitrogen are the primary components that aide in the creation of cells in the living things. Carbon is a fundamental component for human life. It is valuable in the development of proteins, starches and nucleic acids. It is imperative for the development of plants as carbon dioxide. The carbon particles can bond together in different ways, called allotropes of carbon. The notable structures are graphite and precious stone. As of late, numerous new structures have been found including nanotubes, buckminsterfullerene and sheets, precious stone cubic structure, and so on. The utilizations of various allotropes of carbon are talked about in detail in [

A molecular graph is a straight forward graph speaking to the carbon atom skeleton of a organic molecule. In the molecular graph, the vertices speak to the carbon molecules and the edges speak to the carbon-carbon bonds.
Consider as a fundamental basic graph, where V and E address the course of action of vertices and the game plan of edges. The amount of parts in V is known as the request of the diagram G and the amount of segments in E is known as the extent of the chart G. The amount of vertices neighboring the vertex is known as the level of v and is connoted as . On the off chance that no vertices in walk are reiterated, then it is called way in chart G. The length of a way is the amount of edges in it. The separation from vertex u to vertex v is the length of a most constrained way in a chart G where In an associated diagram , the flightiness of vertex u is the separation among u and a vertex most removed from u in .
A graph can be seen by a numeric number, a polynomial, a gathering of numbers or a system. A topological index (molecular structure descriptor) is a numerical regard related with manufactured constitution for relationship of substance structure with various physical properties, compound reactivity or natural activity. There are some noteworthy classes of topological files, for instance, separate-based topological lists, flightiness-based topological records, degree-based topological lists and tallying related polynomials and lists of diagrams.
The primary topological record is the Wiener list which was proposed in 1947 when Harold wiener [
10] was taking a shot at the breaking point of paraffin. It was the main topological record which relied on the idea of separation between two vertices in a chart. Wiener considered it the way number. In any case, after that it was renamed as Wiener file and it is signified by
W. The hypothesis of topological files began from the Wiener record. Wiener portrayed the way number as the total of the quantity of bonds between all combinations of particles [
10], and is defined as pursues:
where
is any discretionary match of vertices in
G and
is
the length of most limited way among
u and
v. The
Eccentric-connectivity index which was proposed by Sharma, Goswami and Madan characterized as [
11]:
Alaeiyan, Mojarad and Asadpour define the
Eccentric connectivity polynomial of a graph
G as [
12]:
where value of
x is greater than 1. The relationship between eccentric connectivity polynomial and eccentric-connectivity index is given by
where
is the principal subsidiary of
[
13]. Another essential Eccentricity based topological record is
Connective Eccentric index which was proposed by Gupta et al. [
14]. The
Connective Eccentric index is characterized as:

2. Methods
To compute our results, we utilized an approach for combinatorial enrolling, a vertex portion strategy, an edge allocate, outline hypothetical instruments, consistent structures, a degree-counting procedure, and a degrees of neighbors framework. Additionally, we used Matlab for intelligent estimations and attestations. We also utilized Maple for plotting numerical results.
3. Eccentric Index of Crystal Structure of Cubic Carbon
The structure of precious stone cubic carbon (or gem structure of cubic carbon ) is comprised of 3D squares and was talked about in [
23]. The atomic chart of precious stone cubic carbon
for the first level is portrayed in
Figure 1. For second level, new 3D shapes are joined at each end vertex of degree 3 of first level. The second level of
is portrayed in
Figure 2. Additionally, this method is rehashed to get the following level et cetera. The cardinality of vertices and edges in
are given beneath separately.
Let be the set of all cubic free vertices in at the k-th level with , where we say that a vertex is cubic free if its degree is 3 at the k-th level. Let be an arbitrary element, in -th level, we partition the new coming vertices in four sets. The number of new vertices at every -th level is . The partition of these vertices is given as follows:
is the set of vertices at distance 1 from any
with number of such vertices is
,
is the set of vertices at distance 2 from
v with cardinality
,
is the set of vertices at distance 3 from
v with cardinality
and
is the set of vertices at distance 4 from
v with cardinality
. In addition, we denote another set as
, which is the set of vertices of
that is the initial vertices in each
k-th level, so cardinality
. This partition is also described in
Table 1.
In
Table 2 we give the partition of all the vertices of
