Introduction:
Quantitative structure-property relationships (QSPRs) models have been widely developed to derive a correlation between chemical structures of molecules to their known properties. In this study, QSPR models have been used on 91 alkenes to develop a robust model for the prediction of enthalpy of vaporization under standard condition (ΔH°vap/kJ.mol-1) and at normal temperature of boiling points (T˚bp /K) of alkenes.
Methods:
A training set of 81 structurally diverse alkenes was randomly selected and used to construct QSPR models. These models were optimized using backward-multiple linear regression (MLR) analysis. The genetic algorithm and multiple linear regression analysis (GA-MLR) were used to select the suitable descriptors derived from the Dragon software.
Results:
The multicollinearity properties of the descriptors contributed in the QSPR models were tested and several methods were used for testing the predictive models power such as Leave-One-Out (LOO) cross-validation(Q2 LOO), the five-fold cross-validation techniques, external validation parameters (Q2F1, Q2F2, Q2F3), the concordance correlation coefficient (CCC) and the predictive parameter R2 m.
Conclusion:
The predictive ability of the models was found to be satisfactory, and the five descriptors in three blocks, namely connectivity, edge adjacency indices and 2D matrix-based descriptors could be used to predict the mentioned properties of alkenes.

Doubly bonded carbons are sp2 hybridized and have a trigonal planar geometry. The double bond is composed of a σ bond formed by the overlap of hybrid orbitals and a π bond produced by the lateral overlap of unhybridized 2p orbitals on both the carbons. Each carbon atom is...

02:17Physical Properties of Ethers
An ether molecule has a net dipole moment due to the polarity of C–O bonds. Subsequently, boiling points of ethers are lower than those of alcohols of comparable molecular weight and slightly higher than those of hydrocarbons of comparable molecular weight (Table 1).
Ethers can act as hydrogen bond acceptors, making them more water-soluble than hydrocarbons, but since ethers cannot act as hydrogen bond donors, they are much less soluble in water than alcohols. Ethers are considered...
