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.
100) Calculated based on the method by Meylan and Howard (1991).
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.
403) Value obtained by Saxena and Hildemann (1996) using the group contribution method.
475) Calculated under the assumption that ∆G and ∆H are based on [mol L−1] and [atm] as the standard states.
