Data

The first column contains Henry's law solubility constant

H_{s}^{cp}

at the reference temperature of 298.15 K.
The second column contains the temperature dependence

d ln H_{s}^{cp} / d
(1/ T)

, also at the reference temperature.

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

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.
187)	Estimation based on the quotient between vapor pressure and water solubility, extracted from HENRYWIN.
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.
250)	Value from the training set.
