The so-called group solubility parameters based on the cell theory of solution were proposed. The parameters were applied to the estimation of vaporization enthalpy (ΔH°v
298) of organic compounds
The results showed that the accuracy of estimated ΔH°v.298 with the present method was better than those with the previous group contribution methods. Especially
the present method was applied successfully to the estimation of ΔH°v
298 for the organic compounds with more than one functional group.
