Аннотация: The NIST gas chromatographic retention index database is widely used in gas chromatography–mass spectrometry analysis. For many compounds, the NIST database contains many entries that are presumably obtained independently of each other. We showed with specific examples that there are cases in the NIST database where several entries exist for the same compound, and all of them are equally erroneous (an error of more than 100 units). In particular, we demonstrated that all retention index values for such an important compound as imidazole for non-polar stationary phases in the NIST database are erroneous. In addition to imidazole, a similar situation is observed for four more nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds. For certainty, measurements were performed under several conditions, using various temperature programs, and using two specimens of columns. The structures were confirmed using nuclear magnetic resonance and mass spectrometry. It was shown with specific examples that many values are not reliable: either data were obtained using standard samples of undescribed origin without confirmation (without even using mass spectrometry) or, in some cases, standard samples were not used at all, and the retention index was obtained for a mixture component identified using a mass spectral library search. Some “independent” values are not such but are repeated publications of the same data (secondary sources), or simply several values taken from the same source. In the work, an analysis was carried out and assumptions were made about how several equally incorrect retention index values could appear in the NIST database.
