Abstract

The recent synthesis of triple-pore covalent organic frameworks (TP-COFs), specifically TP-COF-DAB and TP-COF-BZ, represents a significant milestone in framework chemistry, as replicating such multi-pore architectures remains highly challenging. Despite their structural novelty, the mathematical perspective of their topology and associated properties is still limited. In this study, closed-form expressions are derived for reverse degree topological indices of these TP-COFs based on a bitrapezium topological arrangements. Scaled face reverse degree indices are employed to explicitly characterize pore geometry in triple-pore architectures. Furthermore, reverse degree based entropy measures are computed to quantify structural orderness and to explore isentropic configurations within the TP-COF family. Using these structural parameters, quantitative structure-property models are constructed for spectral energy, demonstrating strong predictive capability. In addition, the spectral diameter and HOMO–LUMO gap are analyzed using graph spectral techniques, providing insights into the spectral characteristics of TP-COFs.

Keywords: face reverse degree indices, HOMO‐LUMO gap, isentropic structures, QSPR modeling, spectral energy, triple-pore covalent organic frameworks

1. Introduction

Covalent organic frameworks have emerged as highly promising materials over the past decades due to their remarkable crystallinity, extensive surface areas, and wide-ranging applications, including catalysis, sensing, energy storage, drug delivery, optoelectronic devices, separation processes, and gas adsorption and storage (Bai et al., 2016; Ding et al., 2016; Kandambeth et al., 2017; Liao et al., 2016; Liu et al., 2026). As an emerging class of crystalline porous organic materials, the properties and performance of COFs strongly depend on the characteristics of their pores, which are determined by the topological structures of the networks and their sizes (Carrington et al., 2022; Liang et al., 2020; Yusran et al., 2024). In particular, appropriate pore architectures and functionalization enable COFs to act as efficient adsorbents for the capture of hazardous metal ions, organic and biological pollutants, as well as greenhouse gases (Ghazi et al., 2018; Li et al., 2021; Xiao et al., 2021; Xin et al., 2021). Traditionally, COFs have been constructed through the principles of reticular chemistry, which enable the precise prediction of their structures based on the symmetry and geometry of the building blocks used for condensation reactions (Abuzeid et al., 2021; Yaghi, 2016; Yu et al., 2022). The design strategies for COFs have therefore focused mainly on combining building units with compatible symmetries. Using this approach, various COFs with tetragonal, hexagonal, or triangular pores have been designed and synthesized since the first two COFs were reported in 2005 (Chen et al., 2025; Côté et al., 2005; Gao et al., 2018; Geng et al., 2020; Jing et al., 2023). In these traditional COFs, there is usually only one kind of pore in a given framework, which limits their structural complexity and functional diversity.

Recent advances have introduced a paradigm shift with the development of heteropore COFs that incorporate two or three distinct types of pores within a single continuous network (Dalapati et al., 2016; Du et al., 2016; Han et al., 2020). These structures enrich the structural diversity of the COF family and open new avenues for multifunctionality. A pioneering design strategy combining vertex truncation and multiple linking site approaches has enabled the fabrication of triple-pore COFs (Qian et al., 2017). In this design, the building block [1,1′:3′,1″-terphenyl]−3,3″,5,5″-tetracarbaldehyde (TPTCA) is shown in Figure 1a, while the linear linkers 1,4-diaminobenzene (DAB) and benzidine (BZ) are shown in Figures 1b,c. Condensation of TPTCA with these linkers yields the structural units for TP-COF-DAB and TP-COF-BZ, presented in Figure 2. These COFs exhibit an fxt topology, where the V-shaped geometry of the TPTCA unit is crucial for generating the connectivity that gives rise to three distinct pore types (Bhambri et al., 2022). This advancement reflects a broader challenge in polymer and materials science, moving beyond primary connectivity toward precisely controlled higher-order structures. While biological polymers achieve remarkable hierarchical organization, replicating such structural precision in synthetic systems remains a significant challenge (Kricheldorf, 2006). The design of multi-pore COFs such as TP-COF-DAB and TP-COF-BZ represents a meaningful step toward this goal, embodying the idea of tailor-made frameworks in materials design. Analyzing their intricate architectures is therefore not only of theoretical interest but also essential for understanding and exploiting their full functional potential.

Since the pore architecture is the primary factor governing the physical and chemical properties of COFs, a topological analysis that quantitatively characterizes the pore environment is essential. Topological indices, which are numerical descriptors derived from graph theory, have been widely employed to characterize the structure of molecular and extended frameworks (Arockiaraj et al., 2025a; Junias and Clement, 2024; Kalaam et al., 2024; Mondal et al., 2026; Tang et al., 2025). In the context of COFs, several studies have applied degree-based and related topological indices to correlate structural features with properties (Arockiaraj et al., 2025b; Augustine and Roy, 2022; Kurian et al., 2025; Tu et al., 2025; Zhang X. et al., 2025). These indices provide a powerful way to understand how the structure of the framework influences its physicochemical properties (Arockiaraj et al., 2025c; Manuel and Angamuthu, 2025; Paul et al., 2025; Raza et al., 2024). However, conventional degree-based topological indices mainly describe atom connectivity, which may not fully capture the complexity of the pores themselves. To address this limitation, a face-degree-based topological framework is employed, in which indices are defined in terms of face degrees, thereby providing a more direct and accurate representation of the pore structure. Notably, scaled face reverse-degree based indices have been shown to be effective for benzenoid hydrocarbons compared with conventional degree-based indices (Arockiaraj et al., 2026a). In parallel, reverse-degree topological indices offer an alternative perspective for capturing structural information by emphasizing complementary connectivity patterns within the network (Ahmad et al., 2023; Kalaam and Greeni, 2024; Kalaam and Greeni, 2025; Rao et al., 2024; Youssef et al., 2024). Consequently, the reverse-degree framework provides additional structural information that can be used for subsequent QSPR modeling (Aq et al., 2026; Ravi, 2024). Thus, in this study, we analyze TP-COFs with reverse-degree indices, and scaled face reverse-degree indices. We further investigate the existence of isentropic structures by means of reverse-degree based graph entropies, which have attracted considerable attention in the literature as measures of structural complexity and information content (Kavitha et al., 2021; Naeem et al., 2024; Zhang G. et al., 2025). In addition, entropy measures are relevant to both thermodynamics and information theory, which provide valuable insights into the behaviour of complex systems across scientific and engineering domains (Abraham et al., 2022; Hussain et al., 2025; Jawahar and Clement, 2026; Peter et al., 2025; Yu et al., 2024). Building upon these analyses, we further investigate spectral descriptors and develop predictive models for spectral graph energy using the computed topological indices.

2. Computational techniques

The triple-pore covalent organic frameworks investigated in this study are modeled as hydrogen-suppressed graph structures TP-COF=(V(TP-COF),E(TP-COF)) , where V(TP-COF) represents the set of vertices corresponding to atoms, and E(TP-COF) represents the set of edges corresponding to bonds. In this work, we aim to explore the degree parameter dTP-COF(x) of each vertex x∈V(TP-COF) , defined as the number of edges incident on the vertex, to its full potential. Accordingly, a modified reverse-degree parameter is employed to reveal different degree combinations and to represent vertices with lower connectivity. The reverse degree is defined as

rkx=ΔTP-COF−dTP-COFx+k:k≤dTP-COFxΔTP-COF−dTP-COFx+k modΔTP-COF:k>dTP-COFx (1)

Here, Δ(TP-COF) denotes the maximum degree in TP-COF , and the reversing parameter k takes integer values from 1 to Δ(TP-COF) . For k>Δ(TP-COF) , the degree values repeat cyclically. The reverse-degree parameter defined in Equation 1 follows existing formulations in the literature, where reverse-degree concepts are employed to capture complementary connectivity patterns in complex networks. Such a definition has been effectively used in recent studies to improve degree-based indices (Ahmad et al., 2023; Kalaam and Greeni, 2024; Kalaam and Greeni, 2025; Rao et al., 2024; Youssef et al., 2024). In this work, the same formulation is adopted in the context of TP-COFs to appropriately reflect their connectivity variations. The degree-based topological indices are defined as TId(TP-COF)=∑xy∈E(TP-COF)TI(dTP-COF(x),dTP-COF(y)) . In order to incorporate the reverse-degree parameters, we define the associated topological indices as

TIrkTP-COF=∑xy∈ETP-COFTIrkx,rky (2)

Furthermore, to integrate the effect of reverse-degree modification with the structural influence of pores, we employ the face-reverse-degree indices for each face F∈F(TP-COF) , defined as

FTIrkF=∑xy∈EFTIrkx,rky (3)

where E(F) denotes the set of boundary edges of the face F , and F(TP-COF) represents the set of all faces of TP-COF . The set F(TP-COF) includes both internal faces (Fi) , which are completely bounded cycles, and the external face (Fe) , which outlines the outer boundary of the structure. During the boundary traversal of a face, pendant edges are counted twice (Arockiaraj et al., 2026b). The total number of faces is given by the cardinality |F(TP-COF)| . Aggregating the face contributions derived from Equation 3, the scaled face-reverse-degree index of TP-COF is defined as

F*TIrkTP-COF=|ETP-COF||FTP-COF|∑F∈FTP-COFFTIrkF|EF| (4)

To emphasize the structural influence of these reverse-degree modifications and their pore-level extension, we consider the first Zagreb M1(a,z) , second Zagreb M2(a,z) , hyper-Zagreb HM(a,z) , forgotten F(a,z) , arithmetic A(a,z) , bi-Zagreb BM(a,z) , tri-Zagreb TM(a,z) , bi-Zagreb-arithmetic BMA(a,z) , tri-Zagreb-harmonic TMH(a,z) , and tri-Zagreb-arithmetic TMA(a,z) , which are defined respectively as

TIa,z= a+z, az, a+z2, a2+z2, a+z2, a+z+az, a2+z2+az, 2a+z+aza+z,a2+z2+aza+z2, 2a2+z2+aza+z 

Among these topological indices, the first Zagreb index was originally introduced in relation to the total π -electron energy of molecular graphs, while the forgotten index was later shown to provide improved structural sensitivity in subsequent investigations (Furtula and Gutman, 2015; Gutman and Trinajstić, 1972). In recent studies, these indices have been extended through reverse-degree and scaled face-based formulations to better represent structural variations (Arockiaraj et al., 2026a; Kalaam and Greeni, 2025). These extensions have been shown to provide additional structural information compared to existing indices and support their applicability in structural analysis and potential QSPR studies (Ahmad et al., 2023; Aq et al., 2026; Ravi, 2024).

3. Results and discussion

In TP-COFs, the structural units can be arranged in various configurations, such as linear, rectangular, hexagonal, parallelogram, and bi-trapezium, depending on the topology and connectivity of the building units. These configurations influence the overall geometry, porosity, and functional characteristics of the materials. In the present study, the bi-trapezium configuration is used to model the arrangement of structural units as graph structures. The representative bi-trapezium configurations considered in this work are illustrated in Figures 3, 4. These figures depict the structural arrangement of the TP-COFs, where vertices represent atoms and edges represent bonds. In particular, the figures highlight variations in connectivity and the arrangement of faces, which form the basis for computing the reverse-degree and scaled face reverse-degree topological indices. This configuration includes two important structural forms, namely linear and hexagonal, as subcases, and therefore provides a general framework suitable for representing a wide range of geometric variations observed in TP-COFs. Let DAB(n,m) and BZ(n,m) represent the bi-trapezium graph structures corresponding to the two TP-COFs, namely TP-COF-DAB and TP-COF-BZ, respectively. Here, n and m denote the structural parameters that determine the extent of the bi-trapezium arrangement. The vertex and edge set counts of these COFs are given, respectively, by {|V(DAB)|,|E(DAB)|}={444m−12n+456mn−228m2−12,512m  −16n+528mn−264m2−16} and {|V(BZ)|,|E(BZ)|}={588m−12n+600mn−300m2−12,680m  −16n+696mn−348m2−16} .

3.1. Reverse degree topological indices

To streamline the computation of the reverse-degree topological indices, we first partition the bonds into bond classes using the bond-partition technique, which groups edges according to the degrees of their end vertices. Mathematically, this is defined as

da,z= xy∈ETP-COF∣dTP-COFx=a,dTP-COFy=z .

Let D(TP-COF) denote the set of bond classes of the TP-COFs. Then, the frameworks DAB and BZ share the same bond classes, D(DAB)=D(BZ)={(2,2),(2,3),(3,3)} . However, their cardinalities differ, and the corresponding values are presented in Table 1.

TABLE 1.

Bond partitions of DAB and BZ .

Bond classes DAB BZ
d(2,2) 124m+4n+120mn−60m2+4 172m+4n+168mn−84m2+4
d(2,3) 368m−16n+384mn−192m2−16 464m−16n+480mn−240m2−16
d(3,3) 20m−4n+24mn−12m2−4 44m−4n+48mn−24m2−4

From Table 1, the degree set of TP-COF is {2,3} , with maximum degree 3. Accordingly, the reversing parameter k ranges from 1 to 3, and the corresponding modifications are

dTP-COFx=2,rkx=2:k=13:k=21:k=3
dTP-COFx=3,rkx=1:k=12:k=23:k=3

Thus, the modified bond partitions for k=1 are given by Dr1(DAB)=Dr1(BZ)={(2,2),(2,1),(1,1)} . For k=2 , the partitions are Dr2(DAB)=Dr2(BZ)={(3,3),(3,2),(2,2)} and for k=3 , Dr3(DAB)=Dr3(BZ)={(1,1),(1,3),(3,3)} . The corresponding cardinalities remain unchanged as per order given in Table 1. Then, the general formula for reverse-degree topological indices, obtained by substituting into Equation 2, is given by

TIrkDAB=124m+4n+120mn−60m2+4 TIrk2,rk2+368m−16n+384mn−192m2−16 TIrk2,rk3+20m−4n+24mn−12m2−4 TIrk3,rk3 (5)

By substituting the topological indices into Equations 5 and 6, the corresponding closed-form expressions for the reverse-degree topological indices are obtained, and the results are presented in the form TIrk={TIr1,TIr2,TIr3} in Results 1 and 2.

3.2. Scaled face reverse degree topological indices

In the case of scaled face reverse degree topological indices, the TP-COFs are partitioned into faces. For both DAB and BZ , the face partitions consist of five internal faces (Fi) and one external face (Fe) , where the internal face partitions are illustrated in Figures 5, 6. In particular, these figures illustrate the classification of faces using different colours, where each colour corresponds to a distinct face class. Higher-dimensional structures follow a similar pattern. The cardinalities of the faces F1,F2,F3,F4 , and Fe are the same for both TP-COFs. However, the edge composition of each face, represented by nTP-COFFi(t,j) , varies. An exception occurs for the face F5 , whose cardinality varies while its edge composition remains the same. The corresponding cardinalities and edge compositions are presented in Table 5. Moreover, the total number of faces in DAB and BZ are given by 68m−4n+72mn−36m2−2 and 92m−4n+96mn−48m2−2 , respectively. Let αTP-COF=|E(TP-COF)||F(TP-COF)| . Then αDAB=512m−16n+528mn−264m2−1668m−4n+72mn−36m2−2 and αBZ=680m−16n+696mn−348m2−1692m−4n+96mn−48m2−2 . On substituting αTP-COF and the modified reverse-degrees into Equation 4, the general formulas for scaled face reverse-degree topological indices are presented below.

3.3. Existence of isentropic structures

The term isentropic, meaning constant entropy, has been of long-standing interest in thermodynamics and has led to diverse concepts such as isentropic analysis, isentropic efficiency, and isentropic flow. In the context of topological analysis, isentropic structures are defined as systems that attain equal entropy values even in the presence of variations in topology, geometry, or composition. The recognition of such structures is significant, as it reveals underlying structural similarity, indicates equivalent information content, and enables the classification of networks into entropy-equivalent families. These measures provide an effective framework for quantifying structural complexity and information distribution in molecular and networked systems (Anand and Bianconi, 2009; Bonchev, 1983; Mowshowitz, 1968). They have been successfully applied to both organic and inorganic materials, where entropy-based approaches contribute to the analysis of framework organization and support rational material design (Jacob et al., 2023; Rahul et al., 2022). These entropy formulations are constructed through additive and multiplicative self-powered transformations of the underlying indices, thereby incorporating both frequency and magnitude information associated with bond partitions. Recent advancements have incorporated reverse-degree modifications into entropy measures. As a result reverse-degree-based entropy of TP-COF takes the form

ITIrkTP-COF=logTIrkTP-COF−1TIrkTP-COFlogTIp*TP-COF.

where, TIp*(TP−COF) is the multiplicative self-powered transformation defined as TIp*(TP−COF)=∏(x,y)∈D(TP−COF)d(x,y) TIrk(x,y)TIrk(x,y) . Explicit mathematical expressions for the entropy measures can be derived from the corresponding topological and self-powered indices. However, the resulting formulations are complex and difficult to present concisely. Therefore, we focus on the numerical evaluation of the entropy values for DAB and BZ . The computed values are presented in Tables 9–11.

From Tables 9–11, we clearly observe that the configurations pair {(4,4),(6,2)} , {(7,7),(11,3)} , {(10,10),(16,4)} , {(13,13),(21,5)} , and so on, yield similar entropy values, leading to the existence of isentropic structures. Furthermore, since the isentropic dimensional patterns are consistent for both DAB and BZ frameworks, this behavior can be expressed in the general forms {TP-COF(3n−2,3n−2),TP-COF(5n−4,n)},n≥2 . Selected examples illustrating the isentropic correspondence between DAB and BZ are listed in Table 12. It should be noted that the term “isentropic” used in this study is based on graph-theoretic entropy and does not refer to thermodynamic entropy in the classical materials science sense. The entropy considered here is a structural descriptor derived from topological indices, quantifying the distribution of connectivity within the network. Accordingly, two TP-COF structures are termed isentropic if they exhibit equal values of this graph-based entropy, even if their topology differs. Thus, the term indicates structural equivalence in terms of information content rather than thermodynamic behavior.

4. Spectral descriptors and QSPR analysis

In this section, the spectral characteristics of the considered TP-COF structures are investigated to gain insight into their structural properties and connectivity patterns. However, direct computation through density functional theory (DFT) is computationally demanding, time-consuming, and often challenging for large-scale frameworks. Therefore, we adopt a graph-theoretical approach based on the eigenvalues of the adjacency matrix. In particular, graph energy (ETP-COF) , HOMO-LUMO gap (ΔHL) , and spectral diameter (SD) are computed using Python programming through adjacency matrices. The graph energy of a TP-COF comprising r vertices is determined from its spectrum obtained via the adjacency matrix representation. Let {λ1,λ2,…,λr} denote the eigenvalues of this matrix. The corresponding graph energy, is defined as

ETP-COF=∑i=1r|λi|

Furthermore, the HOMO-LUMO gap and spectral diameter are computed from the ordered eigenvalue set. Specifically, the HOMO-LUMO gap is evaluated as the difference between the smallest positive eigenvalue and the largest negative eigenvalue, whereas the spectral diameter is defined as the difference between the maximum and minimum eigenvalues of the spectrum. The computed spectral descriptors presented in Table 13 demonstrate distinct behavioural patterns across the investigated TP-COF structures. In particular, the HOMO–LUMO gap remains constant for each framework, attaining fixed values of ΔHL=0.7295 for DAB and ΔHL=0.7492 for BZ irrespective of the dimensional parameters (n,m) . This invariance indicates structural control of the spectral gap within each class. A similar near-constant trend is observed for the spectral diameter, which exhibits only marginal variation with increasing structural size. In contrast, graph energy displays a clear monotonic growth as the parameters (n,m) increase, reflecting its sensitivity to structural expansion and complexity. Owing to this discriminative behaviour, graph energy is selected as the principal descriptor for subsequent QSPR modelling.

Both univariate and multivariate regression analyses are employed for effective model construction. The univariate regression model is expressed as y=βx+c, where β denotes the slope and c represents the intercept. The multivariate regression model with two independent variables is given by y=β1x1+β2x2+c, where β1 and β2 are the regression coefficients associated with the indices x1 and x2 , respectively, and c is the intercept. The selection of indices for both univariate and multivariate modelling is initially guided by correlation analysis. For the univariate case, the correlation results are illustrated through heatmaps shown in Figures 7, 8. Based on the best-performing index, univariate regression models are constructed. Similarly, for the multivariate case, all possible pairs of indices are correlated with graph energy using Algorithm 1 for multivariate regression analysis. The most significant index pairs are subsequently employed to develop multivariate regression models. The results of both univariate and multivariate regression analyses are presented in Table 14, where the coefficient of determination ( R2 ) and root mean square error (RMSE) are reported to nine and six decimal places, respectively.

Table 14 clearly shows that for both DAB and BZ , the association between graph energy and the topological indices follows an almost identical pattern in its correlation behaviour with the indices. In the univariate analysis, the same index consistently exhibits the strongest correlation with energy for both structures. A slight variation is observed only in the case of face reverse-degree-based indices when moving to the multivariate setting. This overall consistency highlights the strong structural similarity between DAB and BZ with respect to their spectral characteristics. In the univariate models, the BMA index dominates the predictive performance. However, in the multivariate framework, the models based on M1 and M2 indices emerge as the most effective. The multivariate regression models exhibit comparatively low RMSE values, indicating improved predictive accuracy. Among these, the reverse degree-based indices perform particularly well. Specifically, for DAB , the reverse degree descriptor with modification parameter k=1 provides the best performance, whereas for BZ , the descriptor with k=3 performs better. The resulting regression equations corresponding to the best-performing models, along with the standard error ( S.E .) and F -value, are given below.

EDAB=0.000002+0.563368M1r1−0.250687M2r1,S.E.=7.12×10−6,F=8.59×1017,EBZ=−0.00001+0.758158M1r3−0.539146M2r3,S.E.=6.48×10−6,F=1.82×1018.

Substituting the index values into these reverse-degree regression equations yields

EDAB=2747477953076967655m−78907412229755675n−1413192682653361665m2−789074027627609874503599627370496+1413192682653361665mn2251799813685248EBZ=913528791220655491m+933255697525240551mn1125899906842624−4931726576146265n281474976710656−933255697525240551m22251799813685248−10342585920000511442943590295810358705651712

The low S.E and high F -value indicate the good fit of the model. We examine the two best-performing multivariate models, statistical significance and stability using the p-values, leave-one-out cross-validation coefficient (Q2) , and the variance inflation factor (VIF). Both models yielded p≤0.01 , confirming statistical significance at the 1 % level. The cross-validation results produced Q2≈1 , indicating perfect internal predictive agreement within the dataset. However, the VIF values are very high (≥10) , suggesting the presence of multicollinearity between the M1 and M2 predictors. The elevated VIF values indicate a strong linear association between the M1 and M2 descriptors, suggesting potential redundancy. This behaviour is not unexpected, as both descriptors are degree-based and derived from closely related degree distributions. Consequently, partial linear dependence may arise, leading to possible coefficient instability in the multivariate regression model. Therefore, while the combined model provides superior fitting performance, caution is required when interpreting the individual regression coefficients, as multicollinearity may inflate statistical measures.

To confirm that the observed perfect predictive ability (Q2≈1) is not merely a consequence of linear dependence between M1 and M2 , external validation was performed. The regression model was applied to higher-dimensional structures that were not involved in the model fitting process, and the results are presented in Table 15. The sustained predictive accuracy observed in this independent dataset confirms that the excellent performance is not an artefact of multicollinearity but instead reflects a stable and structurally consistent relationship between the selected indices and the energy. To demonstrate the performance of the multivariate models, first-degree polynomial surface fitting were carried out, and the resulting visualizations are depicted in Figures 9, 10.

Figures 9, 10 clearly illustrate the effectiveness of the polynomial surface fitting for the considered dataset. The fitted surface closely aligns with the observed data points, indicating a strong agreement between the predicted and computed values. The smooth planar nature of the surface suggests a stable and linear relationship between the spectral descriptor and the selected topological descriptors. This confirms the suitability of the proposed multivariate model for predicting graph energy.

4.1. Y-scrambling

To further validate the robustness and predictive reliability of the proposed QSPR models, a Y-scrambling test is performed. In this procedure, the dependent variable values are randomly shuffled while keeping the independent variables unchanged, and new regression models are constructed for each permutation. The RMSE obtained from each scrambled model is then compared with that of the original model. In this study, the dependent variable is randomly permuted 500 times. For each permutation, the model is recalibrated and the corresponding RMSE is computed. The distribution of RMSE values obtained from the scrambled models is subsequently compared with the RMSE of the original model to assess the presence of chance correlations. The comparative results of the calibrated RMSE ( RMSEc ) and the recalibrated RMSE ( RMSErc ) are graphically illustrated in Figure 11.

Red and purple point clusters correspond to recalibrated datasets, and blue and green markers indicate calibrated datasets near the origin.

From Figure 11, a substantial difference between RMSEc and RMSErc is observed. The significantly lower RMSEc compared to the RMSErc values confirms that the developed QSPR models are not influenced by random correlation and demonstrates their statistical robustness.

5. Conclusion

In this work, we carried out a comprehensive structural and spectral investigation of triple-pore covalent organic frameworks using reverse-degree, and scaled face reverse-degree indices. The study provides a systematic mathematical characterization of these frameworks and establishes clear relationships between their structure and spectral behavior. The entropy analysis revealed that the considered TP-COF structures exhibit isentropic behavior, indicating structural regularity and uniform information distribution. From the spectral perspective, graph energy increases monotonically with structural growth, while the HOMO–LUMO gap remains invariant and the spectral diameter shows only marginal variation. The invariance of HOMO–LUMO indicates structural control of the gap within the series in the graph-theoretical model, whereas the monotonic growth of graph energy highlights its suitability as a descriptor for QSPR modelling. Regression analysis further strengthened these observations. Both univariate and multivariate models were constructed to examine the predictive capability of the proposed indices. The multivariate models, particularly those involving the first and second Zagreb indices, produced extremely low RMSE (0.000006) with a leave-one-out cross-validation coefficient close to one. The statistical significance was confirmed through very low p-values, and external validation demonstrated high predictive accuracy. Furthermore, the regression models were validated using a Y-scrambling test. These results provide a mathematical characterization of TP-COFs and establish their structural, spectral, and predictive properties within a unified framework.
