In theoretical chemistry, the researchers use graph models to express the structure of molecular, and the Zagreb indices and multiplicative Zagreb indices defined on molecular graph G are applied to measure the chemical characteristics of compounds and drugs. In this paper, we present the exact expressions of multiplicative Zagreb indices for certain important chemical structures like nanotube, nanostar and polyomino chain.
