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.
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.
232)	Value from the training dataset.
233)	Calculated with a principal component analysis (PCA); see Suzuki et al. (1992) for details.
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.
419)	It is assumed here that the thermodynamic data refer to the units [mol dm⁻³] and [atm] as standard states.
423)	Betterton (1992) gives Buttery et al. (1969) as the source. However, no data were found in that reference.
