Randić's molecular connectivity index
The Randić index, also known as the connectivity index, of a graph is the sum of bond contributions where and are the degrees of the vertices making bond i ~ j.
History
This graph invariant was introduced by Milan Randić in 1975.[1] It is often used in chemoinformatics for investigations of organic compounds.
