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.
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.
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.
418)	Value at T = 281 K.
