Sodalite is a type of zeolite with an intricate structure comprising a system of interrelated cages and tunnels. It is extensively used in sieving applications due to its unique structure and properties. As a result, it finds several uses in water and air purification, radioactive decontamination, detergents, and so on. Due to the potential positive environmental impact of sodalite materials, analysing the molecule at a structural level becomes the need of the hour.
Molecular descriptors form the basis of many convenient and cost-effective techniques for studying molecular structures. In this article, the neighbourhood sum-based descriptors are computed edge-partition techniques, simplifying the intricate structures with cages and tunnels into more simple graphs for mathematical convenience.
This article presents the calculated analytical expressions for molecular descriptors, specifically focusing on various neighbourhood sum degree-based indices in sodalite structures.
The results presented in this article establish the dependence of the physical properties of a molecule on its underlying structure using the computed molecular descriptors. The graphical comparison of the results provides a visual representation of the behaviour of indices with respect to the molecular structure.
