Abstract

A novel variant of the Zagreb indices introduced in 1972, called the variable Zagreb indices, is presented. Their performance in the QSPR modeling of lower (C₃–C₈) alkane boiling points is compared with the original Zagreb indices and their modifications. The variable Zagreb indices produce better single-descriptor models and participate in better two- and three-descriptor models.
