Abstract. Let $G = (V, E)$ be a simple connected molecular graph. In such a simple molecular graph, vertices represent atoms and edges represent chemical bonds, we denoted the sets of vertices and edges by $ V(G)$ and $E(G)$, respectively. If $d(u, v)$ be the notation of distance between vertices $\ u,v \in V(G)$ and is defined as the length of a shortest path connecting them.Then, the eccentricity connectivity index of a molecular graph $G$ is defined as $\xi (G)=\sum_{v\in V(G)}deg(v) ec(v)$, where $deg(v)$ is degree of a vertex $\ v \in V(G)$, and is defined as the number of adjacent vertices with $v$. $ec(v)$ is eccentricity of a vertex $\ v \in V(G)$ , and is defined as the length of a maximal path connecting to another vertex of $v$. In this paper, we establish the general formulas for the eccentricity connectivity index of some classes of chemical trees.
