Abstract
A new approach to describe the complexity of chemical structures is propose d. This index is simple and can be easily programmed. It derives from Whitl ock's index and, despite its empirical character, provides results parallel ing those obtained with the mathematical Bertz index. It has been applied t o follow the strategic progress of some natural product syntheses.
