| Abstract: | It is shown that using additive schemes complying with the general principle of structural analogy for all molecular transformations
is admissible for calculating gas chromatographic retention indices, which are very important analytical parameters for identification
of organic compounds. From this viewpoint, we compare the possibilities of using the homomorphism factors and the fit increments
of the retention indices of reagents and products in chemical reactions, including those of some topochemically equivalent
hypothetical transformations of the structure and composition of organic molecules.
