A multiparameter
quantitative model was developed to establish
a relationship between structural descriptors of a set of 52 ionic
liquids and their E
T
N polarity
scale. Theoretical descriptors were extracted by Dragon software and
the E
T
N model was obtained
using multiple linear regression approach. After molecular modeling,
four significant descriptors were identified which are related to
the E
T
N values of the ionic
liquids and demonstrates good fit statistics and accurate predictions.
The stability and prediction ability of the E
T
N model was evaluated using various common statistical
methods such as cross-validation, external validation, and Y-randomization
test. As another indicator of model’s validity, the leverage
and standardized residual confirmed the presence of almost all 52
ILs in the applicability domain of the proposed model.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
