Résumé :
|
An especially simple approach to the evaluation of flash point (FP) from additive fragment contributions is outlined. Being based on a square root expression derived from the examination of n-alkanes data, it avoids the need for nonlinear fitting procedures and for trial-and-error optimization of the analytical relationship between FP and molecular descriptors. Furthermore, in spite of a specially small number of additive contributions, the method can be applied to most organic molecules. For organosilicon compounds, it exhibits some advantages compared to previously available procedures, while providing very similar performances, with an average absolute deviation from experiment close to 12 K, a determination coefficient R2 = 0.89 and only one error >40 K.
