Group vector space method for estimating enthalpy of vaporization of organic compounds at the normal boiling point

J Chem Inf Comput Sci. 2004 Jul-Aug;44(4):1436-9. doi: 10.1021/ci049888r.

Abstract

The specific position of a group in the molecule has been considered, and a group vector space method for estimating enthalpy of vaporization at the normal boiling point of organic compounds has been developed. Expression for enthalpy of vaporization Delta(vap)H(T(b)) has been established and numerical values of relative group parameters obtained. The average percent deviation of estimation of Delta(vap)H(T(b)) is 1.16, which show that the present method demonstrates significant improvement in applicability to predict the enthalpy of vaporization at the normal boiling point, compared the conventional group methods.
