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 (2015) for further details.

Notes

9) Value at T = 293 K.
112) Mackay et al. (2006a) 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 %.
116) Value given here as quoted by Staudinger and Roberts (1996).
143) Literature-derived value.
144) Final adjusted value.

The numbers of the notes are the same as in Sander (2015). References cited in the notes can be found here.
