^aEach uncertain parameter is assumed to follow a triangular distribution.

^bEstimate based on heuristics.

^cMean value based on an optimized base case.

^dEstimate based on the group contribution methods developed by Valderrama and Rojas⁵⁵ with maximum standard deviation of 19%.

^eEstimate based on the lattice energy and computational chemistry methods proposed by Gao et al.⁵⁹ with maximum deviation of −159 kJ mol^–1.
