In. Tsibanogiannis et al., PREDICTION OF NORMAL BOILING-POINT TEMPERATURE OF MEDIUM HIGH-MOLECULAR-WEIGHT COMPOUNDS, Industrial & engineering chemistry research, 34(3), 1995, pp. 997-1002
A simple method for the prediction of the normal boiling point tempera
tures of medium/high molecular weight compounds is presented requiring
as input information the molecular weight and density (at 20 degrees
C) only. Excellent results are obtained with an overall average error
of 1.7% for the 126 compounds considered. Even if the density is not a
vailable, predicted values from a group contribution method can be use
