INTRODUCTION The grah theory has successfully rovided chemists with a variety of very useful tools, namely, the toological index. A toological index is a numeric uantity of the structural grah of a molecule. This grah has atoms as vertices and two atoms are adjacent if there is a bond between them. Suose u and v are vertices of the grah G. We define their distance d(u, v) as the length of the shortest ath connecting u and v in G. For a given vertex u of V(G) its eccentricity ε(u) is the largest distance between u and any other vertex v of G. The maximum eccentricity over all vertices of G is called the diameter of G and denoted by D(G) and the minimum eccentricity among the vertices of G is called radius of G and denoted by R(G). The set of vertices whose eccentricity is eual to the radius of G is called the center of G. It is well known that each tree has either one or two vertices in its center. The eccentric connectivity index ξ(g) of the grah G is defined as ξ ( G) = u V ( G) deg( u) ε ( u) [ ]. The mathematical roerties of this toological index are studied in some recent aers [ ]. In some research aers [ ], the authors have comuted some toological indices of armchair nanotubes. The aim of this article is to continue this roblem and comute the eccentric connectivity index of an armchair olyhex nanotube, Figure.. MAIN RESULTS In this section, the eccentric connectivity index of the molecular grah of an armchair olyhex nanotube TUVC [,] is comuted, where is the number of rows in D ercetion of TUVC [,] (Figure ), and is the number of vertical crenels.
M. Saheli, A. R. Ashrafi For simlicity, we denote this nanotube by T = T[,]. Notice that is even. Set E = E(T) and V = V(T). Obviously, V = and E = ( ) + / = (/ ). To comute the eccentric connectivity index of this nanotube, two cases is odd and even are considered. / +. From Figure a, one can see that for every vertex x, ε(x) =. If + then ( + )/ ε(x) + /. In this case, if x is a vertex of ( + )/ th row of T then ε(x) = ( + )/. Also, by choosing a vertex y from the i th or ( i) th row of T, one can see that ε(y) = + / i. Finally, we assume that / + <. Then ε(x) + /. From Figure b, there are ( + ) rows with eccentricity and for each i, i /, there are two rows with ε = + / i.

The eccentric connectivity index of armchair olyhex nanotubes T a b l e The number of rows with eccentricity of, when is even We can combine Theorems and in the following theorem: Theorem. Suose T = T[, ] denotes an armchair olyhex nanotube with arameters and. Then the eccentric connectivity index of T is comuted as follows: ( ) + ξ ( G) = + + + + < + + +. CONCLUSIONS In this aer the eccentric connectivity index of an armchair nanotube is comuted for the first time. To the best of our knowledge it is the first aer considering the eccentric connectivity index of nanotubes into account. We resent a owerful method for calculating such indices. It is ossible to extend our method to a zig-zag olyhex nanotube. REFERENCES [] V. Sharma, R. Goswami and A. K.
