Data

The first column contains Henry's law solubility constant

H_{s}^{cp}

at the reference temperature of 298.15 K.
The second column contains the temperature dependence

d ln H_{s}^{cp} / d
(1/ T)

, also at the reference temperature.

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

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.
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.
723)	Calculated with the principal component regression (PCR) method; see Lee (2007) for details.
724)	Calculated with the partial least-square regression (PLSR) method; see Lee (2007) for details.
