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

11) Measured at high temperature and extrapolated to T⊖ = 298.15 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.
186) Experimental value, extracted from HENRYWIN.
233) Calculated with a principal component analysis (PCA); see Suzuki et al. (1992) for details.
242) Temperature is not specified.
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.
280) Value from the training set.
416) Value given here as quoted by Hine and Mookerjee (1975).
521) Hwang et al. (2010) present regression parameters in their Table 6 and values extrapolated to 298.15 K in their Table 5. However, I was not able to reproduce their calculation. The data shown here are from my own regression of the measured data between 318.15 K and 333.15 K.
