The concept of “solvent polarity” is widely used to explain the effects of using different solvents in various scientific applications. However, a consensus regarding its definition and quantitative measure is still lacking, hindering progress in solvent-based research. This study hopes to add to the conversation by presenting the development of two linear regression models for solvent polarity, based on Reichardt’s ET(30) solvent polarity scale, using Abraham solvent parameters and a transformer-based model for predicting solvent polarity directly from molecular structure. The first linear model incorporates the standard Abraham solvent descriptors s, a, b, and the extended model ionic descriptors j+ and j−, achieving impressive test-set statistics of R2 = 0.940 (coefficient of determination), MAE = 0.037 (mean absolute error), and RMSE = 0.050 (Root-Mean-Square Error). The second model, covering a more extensive chemical space but only using the descriptors s, a, and b, achieves test-set statistics of R2 = 0.842, MAE = 0.085, and RMSE = 0.104. The transformer-based model, applicable to any solvent with an associated SMILES string, achieves test-set statistics of R2 = 0.824, MAE = 0.066, and RMSE = 0.095. Our findings highlight the significance of Abraham solvent parameters, especially the dipolarity/polarizability, hydrogen-bond acidity/basicity, and ionic descriptors, in predicting solvent polarity. These models offer valuable insights for researchers interested in Reichardt’s ET(30) solvent polarity parameter and solvent polarity in general.
