A System Correlating Molecular Structure of Organic Compounds with their Boiling Points. I. Aliphatic Boiling Point Numbers

An improved characteristic molecular volume parameter for linear solvation energy relationships of acyclic alkanes

“…The key relationship between boiling point and molecular structure needed for this work was found in a 1938 paper by Kinney. 11 Kinney used the relationship in Eqn (3) to predict boiling points from a 'boiling point number' (Y) that he calculated from structure by a group contribution method.…”

Relationships between Analgous Organic Compounds of Silicon and Carbon.

“…It is seen that there is a reasonably good linear relationship represented by the equation S = 0.118 + 0.878C, where S is the density of a silicon compound and C is that of its carbon analog. Lewis and Newkirk (123) have shown that an additive system of atomic and group boiling-point numbers developed by Kinney (101)(102)(103)(104)(105) for carbon compounds can be extended to organosilicon compounds. This suggests that a linear relationship like that for densities should apply to the boiling points of silicon and carbon analogs, and such is found to be the case.…”

Viscosity of strongly associating gases

“…The reversible reaction to form dimers can be expressed as shown in Equation ( 6 ) . The equilibrium constant for Equation (6) can be expressed in terms of the partial pressures of the components, a s shown by Equation (7). D (7) Tsonopolous and Prausnitz stated that the equilibrium constant of Equation (7) can be correlated as a function of temperature for all carboxylic acids, as shown by Equation (8).…”
