Abstract

The Wiener index W could be viewed as a molecular structure des­criptor composed of increments representing interactions between pairs of atoms. A generalization of the W are the Steiner–Wiener indices Wkk = 3, 4, … In the quantity, Wk  interactions between k-tuples of atoms play a role, based on the concept of the Steiner distance. It is shown that the term W + lWk provides an approximation for the boiling points of alkanes better than itself. The best such approximation is obtained for k = 7.
