Calculation of boiling points from the number of homolog carbons.
Journal of Coatings Technology, The, August, 1991 by Fisher, Charles H.
Simple equations that correlate homolog properties (including boiling points, [T.sub.b,K]) with the number of carbons ([N.sub.c]) or molecular weight (M) have several important advantages: they are easy to use; much information is provided in little space; experimental or literature properties that agree with the calculated properties probably are correct, whereas those in gross disagreement are incorrect; and properties of additional compunds can be estimated by interpolation and prudent extrapolation. [Most homologs can be represented by RG, where R is an n-alkyl group and G is a functionalg roup, such as hydroxyl (-OH) or carboxyl (-COOH).]
Many of the previously-proposed equations for correlating homolog properties iwth [N.sub.c] or M are complex or are...
