We have used topological, topochemical and geometrical parameters in predicting: (a) normal boiling point of a set of 1023 chemicals and (b) lipophilicity (log P, octanol/water) of 219 chemicals. The results show that topological and topochemical variables can explain most of the variance in the data. The addition of geometrical parameters to the models provide marginal improvement in the model's predictive power. Among the three classes of descriptors, the topochemical indices were the most effective in predicting properties.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
