Notes

1) A detailed temperature dependence with more than one parameter is available in the original publication. Here, only the temperature dependence at 298.15 K according to the van 't Hoff equation is presented.
11) Measured at high temperature and extrapolated to T⊖ = 298.15 K.
14) Value at T = 310 K.
20) Calculated using machine learning matrix completion methods (MCMs).
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.
186) Experimental value, extracted from HENRYWIN.
230) Yao et al. (2002) compared two QSPR methods and found that radial basis function networks (RBFNs) are better than multiple linear regression. In their paper, they provide neither a definition nor the unit of their Henry's law constants. Comparing the values with those that they cite from Yaws (1999), it is assumed that they use the variant Hvpx and the unit atm.
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.
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.
259) Value given here as quoted by Dupeux et al. (2022).
260) Calculated using the COSMO-RS method.
273) Value from the test set.
280) Value from the training set.
340) Values for salt solutions are also available from this reference.
363) Effective Henry's law constants at several pH values are provided by van Ruth and Villeneuve (2002). Here, only the value at pH = 3 is shown.
390) This paper supersedes earlier work with more concentrated solutions (Butler et al., 1933).
393) The H298 and A, B, C data listed in Table 5-4 of Burkholder et al. (2019) are inconsistent, with 10 % difference.
394) The H298 and A, B, C data listed in Table 5-4 of Burkholder et al. (2015) are inconsistent, with 10 % difference.
395) Values at 298 K in Tables C2 and C5 of Brockbank (2013) are inconsistent, with 8 % difference.
396) The H298 and A, B, C data listed in Table 5.4 of Sander et al. (2011) are inconsistent, with 10 % difference.
