See Section 3.1 of Sander (2023) for further details.

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.
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.
33) Fitting the temperature dependence dlnH/d(1/T) produced a low correlation coefficient (r2 < 0.9). The data should be treated with caution.
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.
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.
238) Value given here as quoted by Gharagheizi et al. (2010).
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.
261) Value from the validation dataset.
279) Data are taken from the report by Howe et al. (1987).
288) Data taken from the supplement.
289) Calculated using the EPI Suite (v4.0) method.
290) Calculated using the SPARC (v4.2) method.
291) Calculated using the COSMOtherm (v2.1) method.
292) Calculated using the ABSOLV (ADMEBoxes v4.1) method.
299) Value given here as quoted by Staudinger and Roberts (1996).
375) Value at T = 283 K.
448) Value given here as quoted by Hilal et al. (2008).
685) Mackay et al. (2006b) list a vapor pressure p, a solubility c, and a Henry's law constant calculated as p/c. However, the data are internally inconsistent and deviate by more than 10 %.
714) The data listed in Tables 2 and 3 of Dewulf et al. (1999) are inconsistent, with 7 % difference.
