Tessellations of kekulenes and cycloarenes are of considerable interest as nanomolecular belts in trapping and transportation of heavy metal ions and chloride ions, as they possess optimal electronic features and pore sizes. A class of cycloarenes called kekulenes have been the focus of several experimental and theoretical studies from the stand point of aromaticity, superaromaticity, chirality, and novel electrical and magnetic properties. In the present study, we investigate the entropies and topological characterization of different tessellations of kekulenes through topological computations of superaromatic structures with pores. We introduce the self-powered vertex degree-based topological indices and then derive the graph entropy measures for three different tessellations (zigzag, armchair, and rectangular) via various molecular descriptors that we derive here. Several applications to computing the molecular properties are pointed out. We demonstrate the existence of isentropic and yet nonisomorphic tessellations of kekulenes for the first time. The two tessellations are predicted to be quite close in energy with comparable energy gaps. Graph theory-based PPP methods with parameters derived from higher levels of theory are proposed to be promising tools for the predictions of relative stabilities of kekulene tessellations. We show that the developed techniques can be applied in the general context of artificial intelligence for the machine generation of nuclear magnetic resonance and electron spin resonance spectroscopic patterns as well as in robust computations of thermochemistry of a large combinatorial libraries of tessellations of kekulenes through the generation of bond-equivalence classes.

We have utilized the density functional theory (DFT) in conjunction with graph‐theoretical techniques to compute the vibrational, electronic and topological properties of porous nanographenes starting with the building blocks of kekulene, septulene, extended kekulenes, and circumkekulene. Furthermore, graph theoretically based spectral polynomials and other topological properties including Kekulé counts, delocalization energies, and resonance energies are computed for such structures and larger tessellations of kekulenes which are precursors to nanographene belts with multiple pores. The success of the DFT methods is demonstrated with the computed vibrational modes and infrared and Raman spectra of several of these structures. The computed spectral polynomials and the spectra reveal the underlying patterns of the energy levels and structural features and hence suggest the possibility of integration of graph theory with quantum chemical techniques for the computations of properties of large porous graphenes including the possibility of the Pariser–Parr–Pople (PPP) method with parameters extracted from machine learning of the DFT computations on a combinatorial library of precursors. Finally, the computations reveal that the porous structures can be tailored for sequestration of various ions including heavy metal ions for environmental remediation.

Innovative discovery in bottom-line research and industrial utilization of graphene material has made its mass and low-cost creation an essential advance. This oneatom thick luminous of carbon accumulates a set of different physico-chemical properties, going from its extraordinary mechanical conduct to its uncommon electrical and warm conductivities, which are making graphene a genuine choice to trade numerous customary materials for different applications. Hexabenzocoronene (HBC) is one of the model frameworks for graphene. Because of extremely solid π À π stacking cooperations prompting a columnar plan inside the HBC crystal the subsequent material is as insoluble as graphene. In this paper, we derive the explicit analytic expressions of distance and degree-based topological indices of super-polycyclic aromatic compounds with HBC as a base molecule, such as superphenalene and supertriphenylene.
