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.
71) Solubility in sea water.
81) Value at T = 288 K.
155) Value at T = 290 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.
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.
238) Value given here as quoted by Gharagheizi et al. (2010).
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.
247) Calculated using a combination of a group contribution method and neural networks.
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.
295) Value at T = 294 K.
299) Value given here as quoted by Staudinger and Roberts (1996).
705) Henry's law constants were evaluated using data from Florida sandy field soil.
706) According to Thomas et al. (2006), theoretical Henry's law constants were calculated using the "normal boiling point, the critical temperature, and the enthalpy of volatilization at the normal boiling point".
777) The H298 and A, B data listed in Table 5-4 of Burkholder et al. (2019) are inconsistent, with 11 % difference.
778) The data from De Bruyn and Saltzman (1997) were fitted to the three-parameter equation: Hscp= exp( −521.17646 +25057.64644/T +75.60914 ln(T)) mol m−3 Pa−1, with T in K.
779) The data from Glew and Moelwyn-Hughes (1953) were fitted to the three-parameter equation: Hscp= exp( −184.73597 +10636.09284/T +25.03175 ln(T)) mol m−3 Pa−1, with T in K.
