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.
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.
73) Value at T = 296 K.
88) Value at T = 295 K.
185) Value from the validation set for checking whether the model is satisfactory for compounds that are absent from the training set.
186) Experimental value, extracted from HENRYWIN.
238) Value given here as quoted by Gharagheizi et al. (2010).
247) Calculated using a combination of a group contribution method and neural networks.
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.
282) The same data were also published in Hansen et al. (1995).
288) Data taken from the supplement.
289) Calculated using the EPI Suite (v4.0) method.
290) Calculated using the SPARC (v4.2) method.
291) Calculated using the COSMOtherm (v2.1) method.
292) Calculated using the ABSOLV (ADMEBoxes v4.1) method.
299) Value given here as quoted by Staudinger and Roberts (1996).
368) Literature-derived value.
369) Final adjusted value.
375) Value at T = 283 K.
681) As explained by Miller and Stuart (2003), the measurements were performed at 296 K.
