Title
Notes on quantitative structure-properties relationships (QSPR) part 2: the role of the number of atoms as a molecular descriptor.
Abstract
A previous analysis performed in our laboratory about the polynomial dependency of the atomic quantum self-similarity Measures oil the atomic number. together with recent publications oil quantitative structure-properties relationships (QSPR), based on the number of molecular atoms, published by various authors, have driven us to show here that a simplified form of the fundamental quantum QSPR (QQSPR) equation. permits to theoretically demonstrate the important, but obvious, role of the number of atoms in a molecule, as a possible molcular descriptor A discussion of the practical use of the number of atoms in QSPR is also given at the end. which also contains a discussion of the role of Ockham's razor in descriptor simplification choices.
