title: The permanental polynomial.
abstract: This study identifies properties and uses of the permanental polynomial of adjacency matrixes of unweighted chemical graphs. Coefficients and zeroes of the polynomial for several representative structures are provided, and their properties are discussed. A computer program for calculating the permanental polynomial from the adjacency matrix is also described.
