Abstract

A method for gaining structural information from gas-liquid chromatographic or radiochromatographic data, using the structure-retention index relationship (SRIR), is reported. The method can be applied to predict the retention indexes of a wide range of apolar and polar compounds and the silylated derivatives of polar compounds.
