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

14)	Value at T = 310 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.
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.
275)	Value from the test dataset.
300)	Value from the test set for true external validation.
401)	Calculated for an aqueous solution containing 60 % ethanol by volume as the solvent.
418)	Value at T = 281 K.
476)	Calculated using the experimental value adjusted (EVA) method; see McFall et al. (2020) for details.
549)	The data from Wieland et al. (2015) were fitted to the three-parameter equation: H_s^cp= exp( −96.39127 +11107.87195/T +10.76466 ln(T)) mol m⁻³ Pa⁻¹, with T in K.
