Preliminary QSPR investigations suggest that this index deserves further consideration because of its unusually good predictive potential. This paper investigates the relations between this index with some elementary graph quantities and some related degree-based topological index. Further, the computational analysis will reveal extremal graphs among trees, molecular trees, all connected graphs, and their molecular counterparts.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessFirst inverse Nirmala indexBoundsExtremal treesExtremal graphsExtremal molecular treesExtremal molecular graphsArticle10.1007/s10910-024-01665-x63196104WOS:0012791791000012-s2.0-85199982242Q2Q2
