Abstract

Theoretical linear solvation energy relationships (TLSER) combine computational molecular parameters with the linear solvation energy relationship (LSER) of Kamlet and Taft to characterize and predict properties of compounds. This paper examines the correlation of the gas-water equilibrium constant for 423 compounds with the TLSER parameters. Also, it describes new parameters designed to improve the TLSER information content.
