The Wiener distance matrix for acyclic compounds and polymers.
The relationship between the Wiener indices and the topological structures of alkanes is analyzed. The expressions for the Wiener distances between elements of these structures are derived, and the distance matrix is constructed for them; this matrix is naturally called the Wiener distance matrix. The expressions for the Wiener indices of polymers with units of arbitrary structure are obtained.
