Hosoya Polynomials of General Spiro Hexagonal Chains


Xianyong Li, Xiaofan Yang, Guoping Wang, Rongwei Hu




Spiro hexagonal chains are a subclass of spiro compounds which are an important subclass of Cycloalkynes in Organic Chemistry. This paper addresses general spiro hexagonal chains in which every hexagon represents a benzene ring, and establishes the formulae for computing the Hosoya polynomials of general spiro hexagonal chains.
