The connectivity index 25 years after.
We review the developments following introduction of the connectivity indices as molecular descriptors in multiple linear regression analysis (MLRA) for structure-property-activity studies. We end the review with discussion of results obtained with applications of the variable connectivity index. A comparison is made between some results obtained with the traditional topological indices and the variable connectivity index.
