Abstract
A novel index based on the hyperWiener index named Lu was proposed The relative bond length between two adjacent vertices in a molecular graph was taken into account in the definition of the Lu index The usefulness of the new index in QSPR study was verified by its correlation with a number of organic compounds including aliphatic aldehydes and ketones For each of the physical properties the normal boiling points molar refractions and gas heat capacities at 25°C high quality QSPR models were obtained The final models were validated to be statistically reliable using the leaveoneout cross validation and/or an external test set The correlation coefficients 099 of all constructed models indicate the necessity of such an index and show the potential of the Lu index for QSAR/QSPR studies
