Algorithms for the calculation of the distances and hence the Wiener indices (W) of linear poly (p-phenylene) and cylindrical poly (p-phenylene) systems have been developed that require only the number of hexagonal rings present in the systems. Ambient conditions density and the bulk modulus of linear poly (p-phenylenes) with two to six phenyl rings have correlated with W1/4. Cylindrical poly (p-phenylene) systems with 5 and 6 phenyl rings are found to occur as intervening strands in between two caps of fullerene cages.", pages = "2507-2513(7)", url = "http://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/tandf/tmph/2008/00000106/F0030021/art00011" doi = "doi:10.1080/00268970802575564" }
