Type

Table entries are sorted according to reliability of the data, listing the most reliable type first: L) literature review, M) measured, V) VP/AS = vapor pressure/aqueous solubility, R) recalculation, T) thermodynamical calculation, X) original paper not available, C) citation, Q) QSPR, E) estimate, ?) unknown, W) wrong. See Section 3.1 of Sander (2023) for further details.

Notes

1) A detailed temperature dependence with more than one parameter is available in the original publication. Here, only the temperature dependence at 298.15 K according to the van 't Hoff equation is presented.
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.
186) Experimental value, extracted from HENRYWIN.
233) Calculated with a principal component analysis (PCA); see Suzuki et al. (1992) for details.
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.
280) Value from the training set.
299) Value given here as quoted by Staudinger and Roberts (1996).
365) Calculated using the COSMO-RS method.
368) Literature-derived value.
369) Final adjusted value.
370) Value given here as quoted by Petrasek et al. (1983).
371) Calculated using COSMOtherm.
