Calculating the refractive index of alkenes using the group bond contribution method
Ke Wang · He'nan kexue · 2000
Based on characteristics and connectivity of the groups in molecules, a new method, the group contribution method, was developed that can be used to calculate the refractive index of alkenes from molecular structure. The calculated results show that the calculated refractive index of alkenes were in good agreement with the experimental data, and the mean relative deviation was 0.48% for 216 alkenes.
