Construction of High-Quality Structure−Property−Activity Regressions:  The Boiling Points of Sulfides

Abstract: Instead of using the standard molecular descriptors (topological indices) for regression analysis, which are numerically fully determined once a molecule is selected, we outline the use of variable molecular descriptors that are modified during the search for the best regression. The approach is illustrated using boiling points of sulfides. We have transformed the connectivity index 1chi into a function of two variables (x, y) which differentiate carbon and sulfur atoms. The optimal values of the variables (x,… Show more

“…Recently, in addition to the use of variable connectivity indices [35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43], several different flexible molecular descriptors have been considered in the literature, including the use of variable paths weights [44,45], variable distance related indices [46,47], and other variable descriptors [48]. Thus, we may well be at the beginning of a novel direction in structure-property-activity studies that will be dominated by the use of variable molecular descriptors that not only lead to better regressions with fewer molecular descriptors in comparison with regressions using "fixed" descriptors, but, because variable descriptors offer novel interpretation to the descriptors [49], may also offer guidance in the refinement of molecular models, as will be explained later in this article.…”

“…There are several versions of the optimal (flexible) descriptors [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20]. The present study is based on the only SMILES based optimal descriptor [17][18][19][20].…”

“…The optimal descriptors have been successfully used for the QSPR modeling of aliphatic alcohols [25], nitrogencontaining compounds [26], and sulfides [27]. Later on, optimal descriptors based on the hydrogen-filled graph have been suggested [28].…”
