It originates from the mathematical distance property and has been proven to have good chemical applications in octane isomers. In this paper, the minimum and maximum of the Euler Sombor index for unicyclic graphs with given girth, as well as the corresponding extremal graphs, are determined. As an application, the experimental values of this index for some benzenoid hydrocarbons and drug molecules were compared with the boiling point. Through regression analysis, it was further demonstrated that the Euler Sombor index has excellent predictability in the physicochemical properties of compounds.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/axioms14040249","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,26]],"date-time":"2025-03-26T04:17:14Z","timestamp":1742962634000},"page":"249","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Extremal Unicyclic Graphs for the Euler Sombor Index: Applications to Benzenoid Hydrocarbons and Drug Molecules"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6957-610X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zhenhua","family":"Su","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Mathematics and Computational Sciences, Huaihua University, Huaihua 418000, China"}]},{"given":"Zikai","family":"Tang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Mathematics and Statistics, Hunan Normal University, Changsha 410081, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Gutman, I., and Polansky, O.E.
