Abstract: Let

G = (V, E)

be a simple graph of order

n

. The total dominating set is a subset

D

of

V

that every vertex of

V

is adjacent to some vertices of

D

. The total domination number of

G

is equal to minimum cardinality of total dominating set in

G

and denoted by

g a m m a_{t} (G)

. The total domination polynomial of

G

is the polynomial

D_{t} (G, x) = s u m d_{t} (G, i)

, where

d_{t} (G, i)

is the number of total dominating sets of

G

of size

i

. Let

G

be a connected graph constructed from pairwise disjoint connected graphs

G_{1}, l d o t s, G_{k}

by selecting a vertex of

G_{1}

, a vertex of

G_{2}

, and identify these two vertices. Then continue in this manner inductively. We say that

G

is obtained by point-attaching from

G_{1}, l d o t s, G_{k}

and that

G_{i}

's are the primary subgraphs of

G

. In this paper, we consider some particular cases of these graphs that most of them are of importance in chemistry and study their total domination polynomials.
