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.
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.
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.
73) Value at T = 296 K.
81) Value at T = 288 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.
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.
233) Calculated with a principal component analysis (PCA); see Suzuki et al. (1992) for details.
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.
326) Using the theoretical initial concentration (H0); see Zhang et al. (2013) for details.
327) Average of all duplicates (H1); see Zhang et al. (2013) for details.
328) Sieg et al. (2009) also provide data for supercooled water. Here, only data above 0 °C were used to calculate the temperature dependence.
340) Values for salt solutions are also available from this reference.
475) Calculated under the assumption that ∆G and ∆H are based on [mol L−1] and [atm] as the standard states.
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.
522) The data from Haimi et al. (2006) were fitted to the three-parameter equation: Hscp= exp( 752.39274 −29351.83448/T −115.55407 ln(T)) mol m−3 Pa−1, with T in K.
523) Different types of Henry's law constants of Arp and Schmidt (2004) are inconsistent, with 5 % difference.
524) The data from Robbins et al. (1993) were fitted to the three-parameter equation: Hscp= exp( −4264.16032 +202439.46180/T +628.54371 ln(T)) mol m−3 Pa−1, with T in K.
