Abstract:
Kier's molecular shape indices(
1K,
2 K) are calculated for 165 nonionic organic compounds.On the basis of the characteristics of substituents and conjugated matrix,a novel molecular structure parameter-benzene ring factor(
G) is defined and calculated for 165 molecules in this paper.A satisfactory relationship between the fish bio-concentration factor(
BCF) of 122 nonionie organic compounds and
1K,G is expressed as:lg
BCF=-1.433+0.401
1K+1.897
G,R=0.955,
F=623.47,
S=0.454,which could provide estimation and prediction for the
BCF of nonionic organic chemicals.Furthermore,the model is examined to validate overall robustness with Jackknife tests.All these regression results showed that the new parameter
G and molecular shape indices have good rationality and efficiency for the fish bio-concentration factor.It is concluded that the
1K,
2K and
G will be used widely in quantitative structure-property/activity relationship (QSPR/QSAR) research.
