Abstract

The traditional approach to calculations of gas-chromatographic retention indices from physicochemical constants of organic compounds in homologous series does not encompass all possible objects. Forming different taxonomic groups of compounds by variations in the formal unsaturation, the number of atoms of different elements within molecules, or any complex fragments of structure/composition makes it possible to calculate unknown retention indices by several independent methods from different arrays of initial data. The application of simple three-parameter equations provides an accuracy comparable to the modern interlaboratory error of determination of retention indices for any compounds.
