Implements the SIMPOL.1 group contribution method for predicting liquid vapor pressure of organic compounds as described in Pankow & Asher (2008) and a modified version described in Meredith et al. (2023). Users will not usually use this function directly, but rather through calc_vol().

Usage

simpol1(fx_groups, meredith = TRUE)

Arguments

fx_groups

A data.frame or tibble with counts of functional groups produced by get_fx_groups() (or manually, with the same column names).

meredith

Logical; FALSE: use the original SIMPOL.1 method. TRUE: use the modified version in Meredith et al. (2023).

Value

The fx_groups tibble with the additional log10_P column.

Details

The output includes a column for log10_P where \(\textrm{log}_{10} P_{\textrm{L},i}^\circ(T) = \sum_k\nu_{k,i}b_k(T)\), or the sum of the counts of functional groups (\(\nu_{k,i}\)) times the coefficients for each functional group (\(b_K(T)\)). Units are in log10 atmospheres.

The modified method in Meredith et al. (2023) adds the following additional functional groups and coefficients:

  • Phosphoric acid (-2.23)

  • Phosphoric ester (-2.23)

  • Sulfate (-2.23)

  • Sulfonate (-2.23)

  • Thiol (-2.23)

  • Carbothioester (-1.20)

Note

The method described in Pankow & Asher (2008) allows for calculations of logP at different temperatures. This implementation currently only calculates values at 20ºC.
