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

38)	Value at T = 303 K.
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.
187)	Estimation based on the quotient between vapor pressure and water solubility, 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.
243)	Value from the training dataset.
244)	Calculated using the GROMHE model.
245)	Calculated using the SPARC approach.
246)	Calculated using the HENRYWIN method.
