The retention indices (I) and their structural increments (σl/°C, H, Δl) of C6−C14n-alkenes on polyphenyl ether (PFE) and C12−C14n-alkenes on polyethylene glycol 4000 (PEG) at 20–160 °C have been determined and correlated with the molecular structure of the isomers. A number of common regularities in gas chromatographic behaviour on these liquid phases and squalane (SQ) [1–3] have been found. On PFE the elution order of isomeric n-alkenes is similar to that on SQ (except C8−C101-alkenes and cis-4-tetradecene), for pairs with cis- and trans-configuration it depends on the column temperature, position of double bond and the number of carbon atoms (n) in the molecule. On PEG the cis- are always retained longer than the corresponding trans-alkenes. The linear relationships between 1 and n on PFE and PEG are given in
