Abstract

Plant materials are processed in a variety of ways to produce biologically active compounds. Cellulose (natural polymer) has the ability to deliver physiologically active compounds to organ targets that have been extracted by CO2. Researchers have recently become interested in polymers that can transport biologically active compounds into human bodies. For appropriately selecting bearers of biologically active chemicals, knowledge of the thermodynamic properties of cellulose is required. In QSPR/QSAR modelling, which provides the theoretical and optimum foundation for costly experimental drug discovery, molecular descriptors are extremely important. In this article, we investigated a natural polymer of cellulose network which has interesting pharmacological applications, outstanding characteristics, and a novel molecular structure. We plan to look into and compute a variety of closed-form formulas of various K-Banhatti indices along with their respective K-Banhatti entropies and the heat of formation. The numerical and graphical characterization of computed results was combined with curve fitting between calculated thermodynamic properties and topological indices. This presentation will provide a complete description of potentially important thermodynamic features that could be useful in modifying the structure of natural polymer of cellulose network CNyx.

Introduction

A polymer is a material comprised of numerous tedious subunits and comprises extremely gigantic atoms. Both manufactured and normal polymers perform pivotal and inescapable person in day to day events because of their broad scope of qualities. Drug delivery and prosthodontic substances both depend on polymers, which have remarkable ubiquity. Polymeric organizations have highlights that are resolved by their synthetic structure, yet additionally by how isomer fastens are associated together to shape an organization [1]. Polymers serve a significant job in prosthodontic materials, and their prominence has been marvellous. With respect to their atomic chains, polymers are arranged into four significant classifications, see Fig. 1. In amylopectin and glycogen, there are two sorts of glycosidic bonding: α(C1-C4) and β(C1-C6) glycosidic bonding. The substance recipe of cellulose is (C6H10O5)n. Regular polymers, particularly those got from starches, have been demonstrated to have a wide scope of drug applications [24]. See Fig. 2.

Assume Z which has p vertices and q edges. And let ZV and ZE be vertex and edge sets, respectively, i.e. ZV=p and ZE=q. The amount of neighbouring vertices to a vertex g is called its degree dg. gh stands for the edge e that connects the vertices g and h. For an edge e=gh of Z, the vertex g and edge e, as well as h and e, are incident. We signify the degree of an edge e in Z by de. This is calculated by subtracting two from the sum of neighbouring vertices g and h’s degree. The elements of a graph are the vertices and edges. In QSPR/QSAR research, a number of topological indices have been used [68].

To count for considerations from pairs of nearby vertices, the first and the second Zagreb indices were added in [9]. Following that, Kulli [10] developed the first and the second K-Banhatti indices, which were designed to account for the contribution of pairs of affiliated elements. In 2016, the first and second K-Banhatti indices [11] were published.

B1(Z)=geZ(dg+de).B2(Z)=geZ(dg×de).

In [12], the modified first and second K-Banhatti indices are established as a result of the formulation of the modified Zagreb type indices. These indices were first derived for certain standard graphs, and later they were extended to include TUC4C8 and TUC4 nanotubes. Following that, this work was expanded to include a variety of chemically intriguing networks such as chain silicate, oxide, and honeycomb networks [13] and also for the drugs chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine which were used to stop the spread of the coronavirus disease-19 [14].

1mB(Z)=geZ1dg+de.2mB(Z)=geZ1dg×de.

In 2017, harmonic K-Banhatti index was suggested, which is based on Favaron et al. [15] and Zhong’s [16] description of the harmonic index and earlier topological indices research.

Hb(Z)=geZ2dg×de.

The sum connectivity index is one of the most well-known and commonly used topological indices. In terms of vertex-edge incident, Kulli et al. [17] developed a roughly related form of Z connectivity indices.

SB(Z)=geZ1dg+de.

For the graph Z, the general first and second K-Banhatti indices for real aR, are specified as:

B1η(Z)=ge[dg+de]η. 1
B2η(Z)=ge[dg·de]η. 2

Shannon [18] was the first to introduce the concept of entropy . It is a measure of a system’s information content’s unpredictability. After this, it’s been employed in chemical networks and graphs. Rashevsky entrenched the entropy of a graph [19]. Graph entropy is now employed in a variety of domains, see [2022].

Intrinsic and extrinsic graph entropy measurements are used to correlate probability distributions with graph invariants (vertices, edges, and so on) [23]. Dehmer [24, 25] researched the features of graph entropies, which are established on information functionals. See [2628] for more information.

The information entropy [29] based on Shannon’s entropy [18] is described as:

Ew(Z)=-i=1mFiw(xiyi)Tdlog2w(xiyi)Td=log(Td)-1Tdi=1mFiw(xiyi)log2w(xiyi), 3

where Td=i=1mFiw(gihi) denotes the topological descriptor, m is the number of edge types, Fi is the frequency or number of repetition, and w(gh) is the weight of the edge gh.

Formation of cellulose network planar graph CNyx

Natural cellulose is a non-aromatic, hydrophilic, chiral, and biodegradable organic molecule. Anselme Payen, a French scientist, discovered a strong fibrous solid that persists after treating miscellaneous plant tissues with acid and ammonia, then extracting it with water, alcohol, and ether [30]. It is the major constituent of tough cell walls that protect plant cells, resulting in robust and rigid plant stems, leaves, and branches. Plants can stay erect because of the strong cellulose structure, which is tough to digest and break down. Recently, both the government and business have shown a keen interest in items made from sustainable and renewable energy sources that pose minimal dangers to human health and the environment [31]. In the compounding of pharmaceuticals, cellulosics (cellulose-based materials) are utilized as major excipients. Due to several appealing features such as low cost, biocompatibility, repeatability, and recyclability, it has attracted a lot of attention.

Cellulose is a glucose-based natural linear polymer (polysaccharide) with the formula (C6H10O5)x. Plants produce it in the majority of cases. The leaves and stems of the most plants contain this biopolymer. Primitively, the general chemical structure of cellulose, made up of over 3×103 D-glucose units connected by glycosidic bonds β((C1C4)), will be discussed. Unlike glycogen and starch, cellulose is a non-coiling, straight unbranched polymer. Hydrogen–oxygen bonding (on a linear chain that is the same as or similar to another linear chain) is formed by multiple hydroxyl groups on the glucose ring from one chain, resulting in the development of high-tensile-strength microfibrils. Now, we’ll show how to build a CNyx molecular graph from the scratch. (C6H10O5)2, illustrated in Fig. 3, is the basic construction unit of the cellulose network, characterized by three hexagons and one octagon with three pendant edges. One of these pendants is made of fixed carbon, while the other two are made of OH (hydroxyl group) pendants, one on the upper side and one on the lower side for additional bonding.

Fig. 3.

Fig. 3

The 2D framework of cellulose’s basic units [5]

The number of hexagons in basic units is represented by x, and when one monomer is added to the basic unit, we get seven hexagons. In the same manner, each monomer addition resulted in a four-hexagon increment. The cellulose network CNyx has y hexagonal chains, and each hexagonal chain with t isomeric units has x hexagons. Each chain has an odd number of hexagons. x=4t+3, tW describes the relationship between hexagons in one chain and isomeric units t. Figure 4 depicts cellulose CL74’s three-dimensional network as well as its planar network. In the cellulose molecular graph, we may see polygons with 6, 8, and 10 sides.

We can see the order and size of the cellulose network CNyx, x=4t+3, are CNyxV=2[y(11t+10)-1] and CNyxE=5y(6t+5)-2(t+2). [32] presents an edge split of the cellulose network with various parameters. Imran et al. determined the metric dimension of the cellulose network in that paper. They did so because networks and metric dimensions are so important in everyday life. Subsequently, in [5] many degree based topological indices were calculated.

Entropies in terms of topological indices for cellulose network CNyx

Firstly, we compute general first and second K-Banhatti indices by using Eq. (1) and Eq. (2) with Table 1

B2η(CNyx)=[(1×2)η+(2×3)η]+[(2×2)η×(2×2)η][4(y+t)+1]+[(2×3)η+(3×3)η][12y(t+1)-2]+[(3×4)η×(3×4)η][9y(2t+1)-2(3t+2)]=(2η+6η)+(2×4η)[4(y+t)+1]+(6η+9η)[12y(t+1)-2]+[2×12η][9y(2t+1)-2(3t+2)]. 5

We introduce generalized first and second K-Banhatti entropies by using Eq. (3):

EB1η(CNyx)=log2(B1η(CNyx))-1B1η(CNyx)i=14ghCNyx(dg+de)log2[dg+de]=log2(B1η(CNyx))-1(B1η(CNyx))[(3η+5η)log2(3η+5η)+(2×4η)[4(y+t)+1]log2(2×4η)+(5η+6η)[12y(t+1)-2]log2(5η+6η)+(2×7η)[9y(2t+1)-2(3t+2)]log2(2×7η)]. 6
EB2η(CNyx)=log2(B2η(CNyx))-1B2η(CNyx)i=14ghCNyx(dg×de)log2[dg×de]=log2(B2η(CNyx))-1(B2η(CNyx))[(2η×6η)log2(2η×6η)+(2×4η)[4(y+t)+1]log2(2×4η)+(6η+9η)[12y(t+1)-2]log2(6η+9η)+(2×12η)[9y(2t+1)-2(3t+2)]log2(2×12η)]. 7

Heat of formation for cellulose network CNyx

For varying number of unit cells in a cellulose network, the K-Banhatti topological indices B1(Z), B2(Z), HB1(Z), HB2(Z), SB(Z), Hb(Z), 1mB(Z), and 2mB(Z), were measured. These indices are connected to the thermodynamic properties of the cellulose network, like heat of formation (enthalpy) and entropy. The change in enthalpy during the creation of 1 mole of a material from its constituent elements is known as the standard enthalpy of formation or standard heat of formation of a compound (all materials are in their natural states). Cellulose network has a typical molar enthalpy of 963×103kJmol-1. Avogadro’s number was used to derive the standard molar enthalpy for one formula unit. By multiplying this value by the number of formula units in the cell, the enthalpy of the cell was obtained. The enthalpy of cellulose network CNyx is inversely proportional to its crystal size, according to these calculations. It reduces from -639.64×10-20 to -10234.24×10-20 as the number of cells increases from [1, 1] to [4, 4] (Figs. 7, 8, 9, 10).

Rational curve fitting between entropy (and HoF) and the indices

One of the most powerful and extensively used analysis techniques is curve fitting. The link between one or more predictors and a response variable is investigated using curve fitting with the purpose of developing a “best fit” relationship model. When fitting curves, rational functions are utilized as an empirical technique. Interpolatory, extrapolatory, and asymptotic features of rational function models are superior to polynomial models. Rational function models are frequently used to model complex structures with low degrees in the numerator and denominator. Data visualization as well as to sum up the links between two or more variables can be aided by fitted curves. This analysis is performed to investigate the relationship between entropy/HoF and several K-Banhatti indices. Curve fitting can be done in a variety of ways, including linear, power, polynomial, and rational. To evaluate the association between HoF/ entropy and indices, we apply rational curve fitting. Root mean squared error (RMSE), sum of squared error (SSE), and coefficient of determination (R2) are the accuracy measures that are employed in the analysis. The lower the RMSE, the better the model performance; on the other hand, the higher the R2 (closer to 1), the better the regression line is fitting to the data and that the model’s performance is improved. In this article, RMSE has been our primary focus. We have used MATLAB to conduct all simulations. Tables 7 and 8 show integrity of fit for all K-Banhatti indices vs heat of formation and all K-Banhatti indices vs K-Banhatti entropy of CNyx, respectively. Also, rij demonstrates the rational fit in which i represents the degree of numerator while j represents the degree of denominator.

Conclusion

In this article, we investigated a natural polymer of cellulose network which has interesting pharmacological applications, outstanding characteristics, and a novel molecular structure. Natural polymers are preferable to synthetic polymers because they are nontoxic, biocompatible, free of side effects, and cost-effective. We calculated the K-Banhatti indices as well as their entropies. Tables 2, 3, 4, and 5 demonstrate the numerical comparison while Figs. 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10 illustrate pictorial comparison of K-Banhatti indices and K-Banhatti entropies. Following that, curve fitting was performed between several K-Banhatti indices and their respective entropies and heat of formation. We analysed the performance of other mean square error-based strategies and discovered that the rational method produced the best results in all circumstances. The findings show a strong link between the dimensionality of a system and thermochemical properties.
