Notes

12) Value at T = 293 K.
21) Several references are given in the list of Henry's law constants but not assigned to specific species.
33) Fitting the temperature dependence dlnH/d(1/T) produced a low correlation coefficient (r2 < 0.9). The data should be treated with caution.
68) Modarresi et al. (2007) use different descriptors for their calculations. They conclude that a genetic algorithm/radial basis function network (GA/RBFN) is the best QSPR model. Only these results are shown here.
81) Value at T = 288 K.
186) Experimental value, extracted from HENRYWIN.
231) English and Carroll (2001) provide several calculations. Here, the preferred value with explicit inclusion of hydrogen bonding parameters from a neural network is shown.
232) Value from the training dataset.
239) Calculated using linear free energy relationships (LFERs).
240) Calculated using SPARC Performs Automated Reasoning in Chemistry (SPARC).
241) Calculated using COSMOtherm.
243) Value from the training dataset.
244) Calculated using the GROMHE model.
245) Calculated using the SPARC approach.
246) Calculated using the HENRYWIN method.
249) Yaffe et al. (2003) present QSPR results calculated with the fuzzy ARTMAP (FAM) and with the back-propagation (BK-Pr) method. They conclude that FAM is better. Only the FAM results are shown here.
250) Value from the training set.
259) Value given here as quoted by Dupeux et al. (2022).
260) Calculated using the COSMO-RS method.
279) Data are taken from the report by Howe et al. (1987).
299) Value given here as quoted by Staudinger and Roberts (1996).
300) Value from the test set for true external validation.
418) Value at T = 281 K.
420) Value given here as quoted by Shiu et al. (1994).
