Quantitative structure-retention relationship (QSRR) model for the estimation of retention indices (RIs) of 39 oxygen-containing compounds containing ketones and esters was established by our newly introduced distance-based atom-type indices DAI. The useful application of the novel DAI indices has been demonstrated by developing accurate predictive equations for gas chromatographic retention indices. The statistical results of the multiple linear regression for the final model are r=0.9973 and s=8.23. Furthermore, an external test set of 10 oxo-containing compounds can be accurately predicted with the final equation giving the following statistical results: rpred=0.9966 and spred=8.56.
