  In view of a formal topology, two common terms, namely, connectivity and
adjacency, determine the quality of C-C bonds of sp2 nanocarbons. The feature
is the most sensitive point of the inherent topology of the species so that
such external action as mechanical deformation should obviously change it and
result in particular topological effects. The current paper describes the
effects caused by uniaxial tension of a graphene molecule in due course of a
mechanochemical reaction. Basing on the molecular theory of graphene, the
effects are attributed to both mechanical loading and chemical modification of
edge atoms of the molecule. The mechanical behavior is shown to be not only
highly anisotropic with respect to the direction of the load application, but
greatly dependent on the chemical modification of the molecule edge atoms thus
revealing topological character of the graphene deformation.
