title: Novel topological index F based on incidence matrix.
abstract: Based on incidence matrix W, the novel topological index F is defined by the matrices L, W, X as F = LWX. The properties, the chemical environments, and the interaction of the vertexes in a molecule are taken into account in this definition. Several good QSPR models in the hetero-atom-containing organic compounds and inorganic compounds are obtained. Moreover, based on the definition of F and the values C(i) of the vertexes or the values (m)F(ij) of the chemical bonds, we have obtained serial indices, (m)F(v), (m)F(b), and F(w). They are successfully applied to QSPR models and good correlation results have been obtained as well.
