Extension of a prediction model to estimate vapor pressures of perfluorinated compounds (PFCs)

Perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) are persistent and have been found globally as environmental contaminants. Release into the environment can occur from manufacturing, industrial and consumer uses. The vapor pressure is an important physical property influencing both the release and the environmental partitioning, but few reliable experimental determinations are available. Here we update a previous PLS regression model to cover also this compound class, using only a few calibration compounds. The recalibration is accomplished by applying a leverage-based weighting scheme that is generally applicable in updating structure–property relationships. The predictive performance is validated with an external validation set and is considerably better than for other standard estimation software, both with regard to accuracy and precision. The model can be given a chemical interpretation and the prediction error for the liquid vapor pressure is within 0.2 log units of Pa. Finally, the model is applied and vapor pressure estimates are reported for more than 200 PFCs where no reliable experimental data are available.
