Abstract
In the field of nanoscience, there are a large number of new nanomaterials produced in the laboratory every year. These nanomaterials need to go through a lot of tests in engineering application before, to determine their physical, chemical and nanomedicine properties. The work demands a large number of experimental personnel, equipment and reagents, and it’s time-consuming as well. In the theoretical nanoscience, the various features can be obtained through the computation of topological index on nano molecular structures. In this paper, we study the fourth multiplicative atom-bond connectivity indices of some special molecular structures which commonly appeared in the compound of nanomaterials, and their specific expressions are given. The results yielded in this work will be a guidance for the practical nanoscience applications.

1 Introduction
With the rapid development of experimental methods, there are a large number of new nanomaterials from the laboratory emerging every year. These nanomaterials need to be based on a variety of tests and make sure that they are useful before entering the market, which brings new challenges to nanomaterial testing and regulation. Every year it requires a lot of manpower, material and financial resources to carry out nano related properties test. With the development of theoretical nanoscience, the researchers found that there is a close relationship between the chemical and biological characteristics and the molecular structure of nanomaterial itself. Hence, it emerges as a new branch of theoretical chemistry, and it relies on the calculation of chemistry index to determine the characteristics of nanomaterials. The mathematical model can be stated as follows: each atom is regarded as vertices, and chemical bond between atoms can be considered an edge between the vertices, and then chemical molecular structure of drug can be expressed by a molecular graph. By defining the topological index on the molecular graph, and corresponding chemical properties of nanomaterials can be studied by the index calculation. The advantage of this approach to understand the nature of the nanomaterial is that it does not require laboratory equipment and reagents, thus it saves the cost and receives the favor of underdeveloped areas.
Throughout our paper, let G = be a molecular graph with vertex set and edge set , and then a topological index is regarded as a function f: G . In the past 40 years, several degree-based or distance-based indices like harmonic index, Wiener index, Gutman index, PI index, Randic index, and sum connectivity index et al. are defined and used in the nanoscience engineering applications. Some important contributions on distance-based and degree-based indices of special molecular structures can be referred to Harishchandra and Ramane (2016), and Gao et al. (2016a,b,c,d,e, 2017a,b,c,d).
Estrada et al. (1998) defined the atom-bond connectivity index (shortly, ABC index) which was sated as
Very recently, Kulli (2016) introduced the first multiplicative atom-bond connectivity index as follows:
As a kind of important topological index, many articles contributed to various kinds of atom-bond connectivity indices. The fourth atom-bond connectivity index of circumcoronene series of benzenoid is calculated by Farahani (2013). Goubko et al. (2015) showed a counterexample which contradicts the main conclusion of previous work. The atom bond connectivity index of an infinite class of nanostar dendrimers and several graphs are computed by Ahmadi and Sadeghimehr (2010), Sukor et al. (2017), Basheer et al. (2017), Rahman et al. (2017). The atom bond connectivity index of two families of nanostar dendrimers is obtained by Husin et al. (2013). The atom–bond connectivity index of quasi-tree graphs is learned by Dehghan-Zadeh and Ashrafi (2014). Dehghan-Zadeh et al. (2014) raised the upper bound of atom–bond connectivity index for the class of tetracyclic graphs. Farahani (2013) determined the fourth atom-bond connectivity index of V-phenylenic nanotori and nanotubes. Dimitrov (2013) presented an efficient calculating technique for trees with smallest atom-bond connectivity index. Ashrafi et al. (2015) deduced the maximum value of atom-bond connectivity index of cactus graphs with given order of molecular graph. Das et al. (2012) derived the upper bounds and Nordhaus–Gaddum type conclusions for the atom bond connectivity index.
Moreover, Kulli (2017) defined the fourth multiplicative atom-bond connectivity index which was formulated as follows: where .
Although there have been several recent advances in developing topological indices for various structures of the molecular nanomaterials, the study of biomedicine properties of more nano structures has been largely limited. Furthermore, as widespread and critical structures in nanomaterials, the applications of dendrimers, net and carbon nanocones are frequently appeared in nanoscience engineering. It inspires us to study the fourth multiplicative atom-bond connectivity indices of these common structures in nanomaterials.
The main contribution in this work is reflected in the following aspects: (1) the fourth multiplicative atom-bond connectivity index of dendrimers are determined; (2) the expressions of the fourth multiplicative atom-bond connectivity index of net are raised; (3) the formulas of the fourth multiplicative atom-bond connectivity index of carbon nanocones are also obtained.

2.2 The fourth multiplicative atom-bond connectivity index of layer structure
A silicate (SiO4) molecule consists of one silicon ion and four oxygen ions, as presented in Fig. 5.
Relied on their polymerization, silicates form different networks but the networks are usually motivated by the
layer structure. Four silicate molecules join together to form a sort of octagon, as shown in Fig. 6.
Finally, these octagons join together with other octagons to form the layer structure. We define the rows as the number of lines of vertical octagons and columns as the number of lines of horizontal octagons. The number of rows and columns are denoted by p and q respectively. The concept is extended to any general number of rows and columns. To give a better idea, Fig. 7 gives the network with and .
