The IUPAC Solubility Data Project: A Brief History

摘要

All scientists have a need to refer to handbooks. Some find their needs met by one comprehensive handbook, others may need to refer to many. Some handbook tables give evaluations and there is normally little question about their reliability. Other tables present an experimental quantity such as atomic mass, melting point, boiling point, vapor pressure, or solubility, and in these tables the reliability and the source of the numbers is often not addressed.
