“…20 Rigorous validation and a well-defined applicability domain are the critical components for the future success of a QSPR/QSAR model, regardless of model structure or fitting technique. 21,22 QSPR/QSAR modelling plays a significant role in predicting various physicochemical properties 23 that is evident from the numerous reports available in the literature such as pK a , 24 aqueous solubility, 25 melting point, 26,27 flammability limit, 28 soil sorption coefficient, 29 refractive indices, 30,31 adsorption coefficient, 32 octanol-air partition coefficients, 33 Henry's law constant, 34 dielectric constant, 35 critical temperature, decomposition temperature, 36,37 thermal conductivity, 38 viscosity, enthalpy of vaporisation, 39 Gibbs free energy of solvation 40 and sublimation, 41 enthalpy of formation, 42 heat capacity (C) at variable temperatures 43 and many others. Gibb's free energy of activation (DG ‡ ) is an important physicochemical property for dynamic systems and QSPR/QSAR provides an accurate, robust and reliable mathematical equation to predict its values.…”
