Molconn Structure-Information Representation
molecular structure description indices
Molconn software calculates a large number of molecular structure descriptors from the connection table of the submitted structure.  The descriptors calculated fall into several categories.
The outline below gives a listing of all the descriptors calculated by the current version of Molconn.  The list is organized by index sub-type.  Additional information is available by clicking on the topic of interest.
Electrotopological State (E-State) Indices
The Electrotopological State or E-State indices are Structure-Information representation dscriptors that endoce the electron accessiblity of atoms in a molecule.  This encodes both the electron distribution and local topology at each atom in atom level and bond level indices.  The E-State is based on an intrinsic state for each atom that is modified by all other atoms in the molecule.

The atom and bond level indices are grouped in various ways to form atom-type, hydrogen atom-type, group-type, bond type and bond group indices.  Additional information about each type of index, including a comprehensive list of indices available in winMolconn, may be viewed by clicking on the corresponding link in the outline below.

Molecular Connectivity Indices
The Molecular Connectivity indices are Structure-Information representation dscriptors that endoce the electron accessiblity of atoms in a molecule.  This encodes both the electron distribution and local topology at each atom in atom level and bond level indices.  The E-State is based on an intrinsic state for each atom that is modified by all other atoms in the molecule.

The atom and bond level indices are grouped in various ways to form atom-type, hydrogen atom-type, group-type, bond type and bond group indices.  Additional information about each type of index, including a comprehensive list of indices available in winMolconn, may be viewed by clicking on the corresponding link in the outline below.

Elementary Structure Information
The Elementary Structure Information indices provide simple parameters such as formula weight, counts of atoms, rings and circuits and counts for elements that occur in organic molecules.  The list of elementary structure information indices available in winMolconn is given below.
