On the Calculation of the Molecular Descriptor '/

The molecular descriptor χ’/χ was recently introduced by Randic. The explicit formula for calculation of the χ’/χ index is derived. The formula provides an easy method to calculate the χ’/χ index for any connected graph. The advantages of the formula over the algorithm proposed by Randic et al. are pointed out.
