SUMMARY report of the EIGHTH meeting of the Validation Group for the updating of the Central OPCW Analytical Database
28 - 29 NOVEmber 2000
1. The validation group met for the eighth time from 28 to 29 November 2000 to discuss the evaluation of new analytical data for possible inclusion in the Central OPCW Analytical Database, and also to consider matters related to this database. The meeting was chaired by Mr Eric Wils of the Netherlands.
2. The evaluators for the four analytical techniques evaluated the new data and sent their written reports to the appointed coordinators, as follows:
IR: Mr Martin Söderström (Finland)
MS: Mr Edward White (USA)
NMR: Mr Luigi Abis (Italy)
GC(RI): Mr Maciej Sliwakowski (Poland)
The coordinators provided an evaluation summary report to the group’s Chairman for discussion at the meeting. The evaluators finalised the evaluation of the analytical data, and confirmed that the data approved are technically valid.
5. The Secretariat has announced the release of version
3 of the hard-copy version of the Central OPCW Analytical Database on CD-ROM
(S/222/2000, dated
22 November 2000). Members of the validation group received a copy of the
CD-ROM and were requested to examine the database, in particular the accessibility
of the data, and to provide comments for discussion at the group’s next
meeting. In early 2001 the Secretariat will distribute a first version of
the electronic version of the database containing 521 mass spectra. This
data set has been already distributed to the MS evaluators of the validation
group for testing, with positive results.
6. Upon request, the validation group reviewed the formats for analytical data submitted in electronic form. It was decided that the formats should remain basically the same, but that the Secretariat’s identification code and the relevant schedule number should be added. Examples of these formats are shown in annex 1 hereto. The principle of one spectrum per file is to be maintained. Furthermore, the group decided that:
7. The rules for naming chemicals, which were adopted during the seventh meeting of the validation group, were again discussed. It was felt that the examples giving the systematic and the trivial names in one field were confusing, and that the trivial names should appear in a separate field for synonyms. The amended naming rules are attached as annex 2.
8. The group discussed a number of issues relating to the GC(RI) data.
8.1 It was decided to apply retrospectively the alphabetic letter extensions (a, b, c, etc.) to diastereoisomers. This would lead to changes in the numbering of the GC(RI) data, as shown in the following table:
Old numbering |
New numbering |
Chemical name |
Retention index |
Schedule number |
05-4-0012 |
05-4-0012:a |
sec-Butyl methylphosphonofluoridate |

05-4-0064 |
05-4-0063:b |
2-Methylcyclohexyl methylphosphonofluoridate |
1262 |
1.A.01 |
8.2 The different values of the retention indices (RIs) of these diastereoisomers will be stored in the Central OPCW Analytical Database. However, the Secretariat will select just one average value for inclusion in the on-site databases using AMDIS software.
8.3 The difference in RI values for the same chemical measured on the same stationary phase purchased from different suppliers was discussed. Examples are presented in the following table:

In order to gain a better insight into these variations it was proposed that newly submitted data should be accompanied by RI measurements of the OPCW GC/MS check mixture (see chemicals in the above table).
9. In the GC(RI) part of version 3 of the Central OPCW Analytical Database a few errors have been identified, which need to be corrected. For example, the name of the chemical with the Secretariat’s identification code 17-4-0010 was wrongly reproduced as isopropyl trimethylsilyl propylphosphonate in various tables (EC-XII/DG.2, dated 4 September 1998). The data as originally submitted bears the correct name, propyl trimethylsilyl propylphosphonate.
The names and structural formulas of the compounds with the codes 16-4-0032, 16-4-0034, 16-4-0037 and 16-4-0039 are incorrect, and must be revised as follows:
16-4-0032: O-Isopropyl O-trimethylsilyl isopropylphosphonothionate
16-4-0034: O-Isopropyl O-trimethylsilyl propylphosphonothionate
16-4-0037: O-Propyl O-trimethylsilyl isopropylphosphonothionate
16-4-0039: O-Propyl O-trimethylsilyl propylphosphonothionate
The contributing laboratory has already submitted new forms to the Secretariat.
10. The IR evaluators discussed the inclusion of both condensed phase and vapour phase spectra in the same database. These two sets of data are not directly comparable, and therefore a search of the combined database may give misleading results. The evaluators recommended that the OPCW identification codes for the vapour phase data be modified to distinguish them from those of the condensed phase. This could be achieved by adding the suffix ": v" to the OPCW identification codes for the vapour phase spectra. The IR coordinator will provide the Secretariat with a list of the spectra in question.
11. A number of mass spectra recorded on an ion trap (IT) mass spectrometer was submitted. This type of spectrometer is known to produce somewhat different data (in particular the relative intensities of the mass fragments) from those obtained using quadrupole (Q) and magnetic sector (M) instruments. The validation group decided to postpone accepting a number of these IT-type spectra until better insight is gained into the difference between Q- and M-type spectra. A test will be carried out by Mr Gary Mallard (USA), and the outcome will be discussed at the group’s next meeting . The Secretariat should be aware that the database contains mainly Q- and M-type mass spectra, and this fact should be taken into account in the selection of new equipment.
12. The following new analytical data were provided for evaluation:
IR: from 04-1-0047 to 04-1-0070
MS: 04-2-0205:r, 04-2-0228:r, 04-2-0229:r, 04-2-0230:r

from 05-4-0158 to 05-4 0207, and
from 07-4-0286 to 07-4-0381
The Secretariat distributed the new data to the evaluators present at the meeting, and will send the new data to the other evaluators as soon as possible.
13. Evaluators for the four analytical techniques were appointed (annex 3), and the new analytical data were transferred to them. The evaluators agreed to send their written evaluation reports to the appointed coordinators by 15 February 2001 at the latest.
14. The coordinators agreed to send an evaluation summary report to the group’s Chairman by 1 March 2001 at the latest for discussion at the ninth meeting of the validation group, which is scheduled for 13 and 14 March 2001. The evaluators agreed to attend that meeting prepared to finalise the evaluation of the analytical data.

RULES FOR NAMING CHEMICALS TO BE INCLUDED
IN THE CENTRAL OPCW ANALYTICAL DATABASE
1. In general, the name of a chemical (spelling, punctuation, spaces, etc.) should be based on the name given in the Convention’s Annex on Chemicals.
2. The following additional rules should be followed in cases where the information in the Annex on Chemicals is insufficient to designate only one name.
2.1 The first letter of the name should be capitalised (but not the structural and stereo-descriptors sec-, tert-, cis- and trans-).
2.2 Use the trivial names for the following radicals:
Saturated branched: Isopropyl, Isobutyl, sec-Butyl, tert-Butyl. Also use Pinacolyl.
Unsaturated: Vinyl, Allyl, Isopropenyl.
2.3 If a compound has several substituents, these substituents are to be listed in alphabetical order, disregarding the presence of the prefixes O- or S-.
2.4 Parentheses are to be used in the following cases: around prefixes defining substituted substituents; after the numerical multiplicative prefixes ‘bis’, ‘tris’, etc.; around simple substituent prefixes to separate locants of the same type referring to different structural elements; and to avoid ambiguities.
2.5 For a radical with a branching structure, the name should be derived from the longest continuous chain, starting (position 1) at the conjunction with the parent structure. For example: Methylphosphonofluoridate made using 5-Methyl-3-hexanol is 1-Ethyl-3-methylbutyl methylphosphonofluoridate.
2.6 A distinction is to be made between thiolate and thionate, depending on whether the sulfur (S) atom is single or double bonded to the phosphorus atom.
2.7 Names should be as short as possible, and unnecessary characters should be omitted; for example,
3. The following tables illustrate the application of these naming rules for scheduled chemicals and their associated derivatives.
