ABSTRACT
One of the most important fields in current materials research is the examination of materials through the prism of topological indices. An extensive statistical investigation of topological indices relevant to the characterization of copper(II) fluoride is presented in this paper. Our goal is to use the well-understood structural features of copper(II) fluoride, a chemical that is well known for its crystalline qualities, to uncover a variety of properties inherent in its network. This work makes use of the structural information available for copper(II) fluoride. After a thorough computational investigation, a rigorous statistical analysis is conducted to determine the distributions and correlations between heat of formation and the different topological indices. The findings reveal significant patterns and trends in the copper(II) fluoride network structure, providing insights into the underlying principles governing its material behavior.
Introduction
A subfield of theoretical chemistry and mathematics known as “chemical graph theory” is concerned with the application of graph theoretical ideas to the study of molecular structures. In this sense, atoms are the vertices of a graph, and chemical bonds are the edges that connect the vertices, representing a molecule. A graph is defined as an ordered pair , where V is a set of vertices and E is a set of edges (Wagner and Wang Citation2018; West Citation2001). It gives an estimate of the number of vertices in the graph, and its cardinality is called order of graph. The total number of edges in a graph determines its size (Zhang et al. Citation2018). The number of edges incident on a vertex in a graph is called its degree and is represented by .
Numerous domains, such as biology, social media, computer networks, and logistics, have applications in graph theory (Siddiqui et al. Citation2016). In computer networks, graphs are used to optimize data transfer by simulating the links between devices. In social networks, graphs are used to analyze user relationships. In logistics, graphs are used to optimize transportation routes. In biology, they behave as molecular structures that facilitate the study of protein interactions and genetic connections (Siddiqui, Imran, and Ahmad Citation2016; Zhang et al. Citation2022).
The depiction of molecular structures using graph-based models is the focus of chemical graph theory. Atoms are represented as vertices and chemical bonds as edges (Zhang et al. Citation2018). This model facilitates the examination of molecular properties, reaction mechanisms, and predictions of chemical behavior. Chemical graph theory plays a crucial role in drug development by providing insight into molecular structures. By anticipating the physical and chemical characteristics of substances, it helps in the creation of new drugs. Moreover, chemical graph theory is used in computational chemistry to analyze and simulate complex chemical reactions (Zhang et al. Citation2021).
Liu et al. (Citation2021) and Liu, Bao, and Zheng (Citation2022) analyzed some structural properties of networks. With the use of these methods, scientists can examine chemical graphs more thoroughly and gain a more complex knowledge of their topological characteristics (Ali Malik et al. Citation2023; Koam, Ahmad, and Nadeem Citation2021). Ahmad et al. (Citation2020, 2021) conducted a theoretical study of energy of phenylene and anthracene. These techniques have helped to enhance chemistry and enable more precise manipulation of molecular structures. Predicting chemical behaviors aids in the development of innovative pharmaceuticals, which makes this precision particularly helpful in the drug-discovery process. Chemical graph theory is fundamentally a basis for expanding the frontiers of chemical studies and eventually contributing to the identification of novel therapeutics and remedies. It offers an efficient set of ideas and procedures (Zhang et al. Citation2022).
Topological indices are numerical measures associated with the structural characteristics of a graph that provide significant information on the topological properties of the graph (Nadeem et al. Citation2021). The branching patterns, cyclic structures, and connectivity of the graph are described in detail by these numerical parameters, also referred to as indices. By looking at these indices, researchers can discover more about the fundamental topological properties of chemical graphs. Moreover, topological indices are crucial for researching the quantitative structure–activity relationship (QSAR), which is the link between a compound’s chemical structure and biological activity.
A degree topological index with a high degree of selectivity was studied by Balaban (Citation1982). Estrada et al. (Citation1998) focused on an index called atom-bond connectivity, whereas Furtula, Graovac, and Vukievi (Citation2010) investigated the augmented Zagreb index and furthermore looked at a forgotten topological index. Multiple Zagreb indexes were briefly reviewed by Ghorbani and Azimi (Citation2012). Shirdel, Rezapour, and Sayadi (Citation2013) studied the hyper-Zagreb index of graph operations. Zaman et al. (Citation2024) discussed the neighborhood topological indices of nanostructures. Ullah et al. (Citation2024) analyzed the Zagreb-type molecular descriptors for some novel drug molecules. Zaman et al. (Citation2023) provided some novel topological indices for graph networks. Ullah et al. (Citation2023) computed irregularity topological indices for some bioconjugate networks. Sharma, Bhat, and Sharma (Citation2022) discussed the topological indices of carbon nanocones. Aqib et al. (Citation2023) analyzed the topological indices of some chemical graphs. Sharma, Bhat, and Liu (Citation2023) provided second leap hyper-Zagreb coindex of certain benzenoid structures.
The scientometric analysis of the degree-based topological indices by different countries worldwide is displayed in .
We have presented the scientometric study of the degree-based topological indices keywords in multiple ways in . This study shows that there are many different methods in which degree-based topological indices keywords are addressed.
Structure of Copper(II) Fluoride
Copper(II) fluoride is also known as cupric fluoride or copper (2+) difluoride. Copper(II) fluoride is a chemical made up of copper in the +2 oxidation state and fluorine ions. Its molecular structure is mostly dictated by how these ions are arranged in the crystal lattice. In the solid state, copper(II) fluoride has a crystalline structure that is commonly monoclinic or tetragonal. Cu(II) ions (Cu2+) are transition metal cations that are surrounded by fluoride ions (F-) in a precise geometric configuration to achieve electrostatic stability (Fischer et al. Citation1974). In the crystal lattice of copper(II) fluoride, each copper ion is surrounded by four fluoride ions, forming a tetrahedral coordination geometry. The copper(II) ions serve as the core metal atoms, while the fluoride ions act as ligands, coordinating to the copper ions through their lone pairs of electrons. The electrostatic forces of attraction between positively charged copper ions and negatively charged fluoride ions help to maintain the overall stability of the crystal structure.
The solubility of copper(II) fluoride in water is rather low, and its color might vary based on many factors and impurities. This material is widely used in many different applications, such as serving as a precursor in the synthesis of other compounds containing copper or as a catalyst in specific chemical reactions. The cardinality of vertices and edges of are and . The number of vertices of degree 1 are , number of vertices of degree 2 are , and number of vertices of degree 3 are .

Analyzing the Rational Curve Fitting Relationships Between Indices and Heat of Formation
Computational chemistry researchers have utilized rational curve fitting techniques to gain a deeper understanding of the connection between molecular descriptors and the thermodynamic parameters that go along with them. One such application is establishing a connection between the heat of chemical compound synthesis and topological indices such as the Randić or Zagreb indices. Using methodical analysis and data-driven approaches, researchers have tried to find patterns and trends that link the thermodynamic stability of molecules, which is demonstrated by the heat of formation to their structural properties, as reflected by these indices.
Researchers seek to develop mathematical models that accurately capture the intricate relationships between molecular topology and energetics by applying methods of rational curve fitting. These studies contribute to our understanding of molecular dynamics and may have consequences for the rational design of novel compounds with desired thermodynamic features. A number of significant factors are necessary for assessing the quality and dependability of the derived mathematical models. One common metric used to quantify how much of the variance in the dependent variable (heat of formation) can be anticipated from the independent variable (topological indices) is the coefficient of determination . A higher value indicates a better fit of the curve to the data, indicating the effectiveness of the chosen indices in explaining the variations in heat of formation. The root mean square error, or , is a widely used statistic that evaluates the average divergence between the expected values from the curve and the actual observed values. A lower indicates a more accurate and exact model.
The sum of squares quantifies the total difference between the values observed and the values predicted by the regression model. It is computed as the sum of the squared differences between the actual and predicted values. A lower SSE indicates a closer fit between the model and the data. The modified takes the number of predictors in the model into account. It penalizes the addition of unneeded variables that do not significantly improve the variance’s explanation. According to standard circumstances, the standard enthalpy of gas for is (Jenkins and Donald Citation2005). Below are the models that were explained regarding the relation between indices vs. with the help of MATLAB. show the graphical behavior.

Regression analysis techniques are used to find the coefficients of the model after a dataset including known heat of formation values for various molecules is collected and their Randić indices are computed. It is noteworthy that the particular manifestation of the correlation may differ based on the dataset and the underlying chemistry under investigation. A number of measures, including the adjusted , root mean square error , sum of squares error , and coefficient of determination , can be used to evaluate the model’s accuracy and dependability. By looking at the Randić index, these measurements show how effectively the model accounts for the variance in the heat of formation.

In examining a redefined Zagreb-type index model, scientists are essentially investigating how particular adjustments or redefinitions of the Zagreb indices can improve the model’s ability to anticipate formation heat changes. Redefining the indices could involve adding more structural details or using different topological descriptors to better represent the molecular characteristics affecting thermodynamic stability.
Conclusion
We utilized edge partitioning to generate indices for , presenting both the heat of formation (HOF) and closed formulas alongside degree-based topological indices. These estimations were subjected to comparative assessments using MATLAB for numerical computations and Maple for graphical representations. We used curve fitting techniques to create relationships between different indexes and the volatility levels that corresponded with them. Performance was assessed using several mean square error techniques, and the findings showed that the logical method consistently produced better outcomes, even with differences in parameterization settings. Notably, when comparing mobility to indices, the rational fit method turned out to be the most accurate. This thorough understanding of how the geometry of influences its properties provides a helpful mathematical tool to facilitate more efficient structural alterations in a range of applications.
