Correlation relationships of molar refraction and ten topological indices for 47 organotin compounds

Correlation relationships of 10 topological indices and molar refraction for 47 structurally-complicated organotins which included 16 ionic compounds R_mSnX_4-m and 31 covalent ones R₄Sn that is 41 aliphatic compounds(15 unsaturated and 26 saturated)and 6 aromatic ones were studied.Suitability of these ten topological parameters for describing the structure of elemental organic compounds was then evaluated according to the correlation results.Two lately improved molecular connectivity indices(MCIs)-radius-corrected MCI ¹X^r and bond-length-corrected MCI ¹X^b were applied and proved to be most suitable for the structure expression in QSA(P)R studies of organotins or other elemental organic compounds.
