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

12)	Value at T = 293 K.
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.
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.
368)	Literature-derived value.
369)	Final adjusted value.
681)	As explained by Miller and Stuart (2003), the measurements were performed at 296 K.
682)	Value for T = 295... 298 K.
