Let L n be a linear hexagonal chain with n hexagons. In this paper, according to the decomposition theorem of normalized Laplacian polynomial of a graph, we obtain that the normalized Laplacian spectrum of L n consists of the eigenvalues of two symmetric tridiagonal matrices of order 2 n+ 1. Together with the relationship between the roots and coefficients of the characteristic polynomials of the above two matrices, explicit closed formula of the degree-Kirchhoff index (resp. the number of spanning trees) of L n is derived. Finally, it is interesting to find that the degree-Kirchhoff index of L n is approximately one half of its Gutman index.
