Abstract:A new method of molecular structural characterization (MSC) called the molecular vertex distance index (MVDI) is constructed and used to describe the structures of benzene halides. Two quantitative structureproperty relationship (QSPR) models of octanol-water partition coefficients (lgKow) are obtained through multiple linear regression (MLR) and partial least squares regression (PLSR). The estimation stability and generalization ability of the models are analyzed by both internal and external validations. The… Show more
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.
