The (gas plus liquid) critical temperature of some ethers, esters, and ketones

The (gas + liquid) critical temperature of a number of ethers, esters, and ketones are reported. These values, together with values reported by Quadri and Kudchadker, and Ambrose and co-workers provide a fully extended data s et for the development of correlations for predicting the critical temperat ure of organic compounds containing carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Values re ported here are compared with values reported in the literature, and it is concluded that many older values, on which a number of predictive correlati ons are based, are incorrect.
