Gas chromatographic retention indexes for olefins can be calculated by using descriptors based on chemical structure. The retention indexes of 86 olefins were regressed against calculated descriptors, and a four variable equation was found with a multiple correlation coefficient of 0.997. A separately derived equation with two variables and a correlation coefficient of 0.998 was also calculated. In both cases, the descriptors chosen were consistent with theory. 28 references, 2 figures, 4 tables.
