The chemist Harold Wiener found ( G ), the sum of distances between all pairs of vertices in a connected graph G , to be useful as a predictor of certain physical and chemical properties. The q ‐analogue of , called the Wiener polynomial ( G ; q ), is also useful, but it has few existing useful formulas. We will evaluate ( G ; q ) for certain graphs G of chemical interest. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Quantum Chem, 2004
