a

A bond is rotatable if it has order 1, is not a ring, and has at least two heavy neighbors.

b

Calculated from a linear atom-type model with r2 = 0.931.

c

Calculated from an 11-descriptor linear model with r2 = 0.997.

d

Calculated from group contributions to approximate the polar surface area from connection table.
