The matrix D = [dij ] is called the detour matrix of G, if dij is the length of longest path between atoms i and j. The sum of all entries above the main diagonal of D is called the detour index of G. In this paper, a new algorithm for computing the detour index of molecular graphs is presented. We apply our algorithm on copper and silver nanoclusters to find their detour index. %> http://ijmsi.ir/article-1-21-en.pdf %P 25-28 %& 25 %! %9 Research paper %L A-10-1-21 %+ %G eng %@ 1735-4463 %[ 2007
