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

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.
81) Value at T = 288 K.
186) Experimental value, extracted from HENRYWIN.
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.
300) Value from the test set for true external validation.
368) Literature-derived value.
369) Final adjusted value.
560) Mackay et al. (2006d) list a vapor pressure p, a solubility c, and a Henry's law constant calculated as p/c. However, the data are internally inconsistent and deviate by more than 10 %.
569) Value given here as quoted by Goodarzi et al. (2010).
570) Goodarzi et al. (2010) compared several QSPR methods and found that the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm with Bayesian regularization produces the best results. Values obtained with other methods can be found in their supplement.
647) Measured with the wetted-wall column at room temperature.
683) Value for T = 293... 298 K.
