A new computational scheme is developed to predict physical properties of organic compounds on the basis of their molecular structure. The method uses graph theory to encode the structural information which is the numerical input for a neutral network. Calculated results for a series of saturated hydrocarbons demonstrate average accuracies of 1--2% with maximum deviations of 12--14%.
