“…Due to the huge number of isomers of alkanes, determining the physicochemical properties of all compounds experimentally is an impossible task, so it is very meaningful to establish an estimation method. Until now, people have gradually established many valuable estimation methods, 1 − 95 such as (i) group-contribution (GC) methods, 4 , 9 , 18 , 37 , 54 , 55 , 70 , 86 (ii) estimating one physicochemical property from that of other compounds, 1 , 2 , 8 , 14 , 16 , 17 , 19 , 20 , 22 , 24 , 36 , 39 , 45 , 48 , 57 , 64 − 66 , 74 , 75 , 78 , 85 , 89 (iii) liquid equations of states (EoS)-based methods, 3 , 5 , 7 , 11 , 13 , 21 , 25 , 26 , 31 , 34 , 40 , 41 , 46 , 47 , 49 − 51 , 53 , 61 , 88 , 90 − 92 and (iv) quantitative structure–property relationships (QSPRs). 15 , 30 , 38 , 42 , 44 , 52 , 56 , 59 , 60 ...…”
