title: Relative retention times of chlorinated monoterpenes.
abstract: GC retention times for 67 chlorinated monoterpenes, belonging to the technical pesticide Toxaphene have been measured under the same conditions and relative retention times have been determined. They consisted of 45 chlorinated bornanes, 13 chlorinated bornenes, 8 chlorinated dihydrocamphenes and 1 chlorinated camphene. Useful correlations between structure and retention time were found. Similar changes in structure for different compounds lead to similar changes in retention times. These correlations allow to predict retention times for yet unknown Toxaphene congeners.
