ABSTRACT: Dendrimers are man-made polymeric macromolecules created from branching chains known as monomers. Topological indices (TIs) are molecular descriptors that define the structure and aid in establishing relationships with various physicochemical properties such as volatility, density, melting point, and more. TIs are categorized according to their distance, spectrum, and degree. Within these TIs, topological descriptors based on connection numbers (CN) hold significant importance. In this article, we calculate the overall outcomes of Zagreb connection indices, including the inverse sum connection index (ISCI), geometric arithmetic connection index (GACI), harmonic connection index (HCI), atom bond connectivity connection index (ABCCI), hyper Zagreb connection index (HZCI), and symmetric division connection index (SDCI) for the polypropyleneimine anoctamin (PPIO) dendrimer and Poly(Propyl) Ether Imine (PPEI) dendrimers. PPIO dendrimers and PPEI dendrimers are a new class of versatile nanostructured materials capable of exhibiting extraordinary physicochemical properties, which are closely related to their intricate tree-like architecture. PPIO dendrimers (synthesized using polypropylene imine) are relatively biocompatible and show promise as drug carriers, mainly because their core is hydrophobic with a hydrophilic surface. The PPEI dendrimers are highly soluble in alcohols and water and offer the ability to introduce a versatile range of functionalities. Their controlled structure, stability and tunable surface functionalities make these dendrimers attract much attention in several fields like biomedical applications, catalysis and nanotechnology. Additionally, a comparative analysis is performed to validate the excellence of our generated graphical and numerical outcomes.
