Major areas of research in mathematical chemistry include chemical graph theory. Chemical graph theory applies graph theory to mathematical modeling of chemical phenomena. If G=(V(G),E(G)) is a connected graph,where V(G) is a non-empty set of vertices and E(G) is a set of edges, then the eccentric connectivity index of G (denoted by ξ(G)) was defined as ζ(G)=  where dv is the degree of a vertex v and ε(v) is its eccentricity. In this study, we investigated the eccentric connectivity index of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). %U https://www.echemcom.com/article_104780_02bd41a19d3f49f2d2a96b165b0b625e.pdf
