Database for accurate EI-MS spectra for volatile compounds identified in e-liquids for e-cigarettes

<p>Database of accurate EI-MS spectra, recorded using a GC-EI-TOF-MS instrument, for volatile and semi-volatile compounds tentatively identified in diluted e-liquids for e-smoking. Tentative identifications were based on normalized spectral matches above 75 (0-100 scale) with the low resolution NIST17 database, linear retention index differences between 50 units compared to literature values for semipolar (HP5-type) and Carbowax columns, and mass errors lower than 50 ppm for a minimum of two relevant ions in the spectra of each compound.</p> <p>The database can be used in combination with Library Editor software, included in MassHunter software. Experimental spectra were obtained after spectral deconvolution of GC-MS records for 1:100 diluted commercially available e-liquids</p>
