The Wiener polarity index W-p(G) of a molecular graph G of order n is the number of unordered pairs of vertices u, v of G such that the distance d(G)(u, v) between u and v is 3. In this note, it is proved that in a triangle- and quadrangle-free connected graph G with the property that the cycles of G have at most one common edge, W-p(G) = M-2(G) - M-1(G) - 5N(p) - 3N(h) + vertical bar E(G)vertical bar, where M-1(G), M-2(G), N-p and N-h denoted the first Zagreb index, the second Zagreb index, the number of pentagons and the number of hexagons, respectively. As a special case, it is proved that the Wiener polarity index of fullerenes with n carbon atoms is (9n - 60)/2. The extremal values of catacondensed hexagonal systems, hexagonal cacti and polyphenylene chains with respect to the Wiener polarity index are also computed. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd.
