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.
24) Value at "room temperature".
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.
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.
299) Value given here as quoted by Staudinger and Roberts (1996).
300) Value from the test set for true external validation.
362) Because of discrepancies between the values shown in Tables 4 and 5 of Shiu and Ma (2000), the data are not used here.
368) Literature-derived value.
369) Final adjusted value.
371) Calculated using COSMOtherm.
375) Value at T = 283 K.
