alcohol: Alcohol Solubility in Water Data

Description

The solubility of alcohols in water is important in understanding alcohol transport in living organisms. This dataset from (Romanelli et al., 2001) contains physicochemical characteristics of 44 aliphatic alcohols. The aim of the experiment was the prediction of the solubility on the basis of molecular descriptors.

Usage

data(alcohol)

Arguments

Format

A data frame with 44 observations on the following 7 numeric variables.
SAG
solvent accessible surface-bounded molecular volume.
V
volume
logPC
Log(PC); PC = octanol-water partitions coefficient
P
polarizability
RM
molar refractivity
Mass
the mass
logSolubility
ln(Solubility), the response.
