Typical Examples of Estimating Entropies

TABLE 22.7. Corrections for Type Number and Multiple Substitutions of Functional Groups 

These examples illustrate the procedure used in the Andersen-Beyer-Watson-Yoneda method. The hrst example shows moderate agreement the second shows poor agreement. Generally, it is preferable to consider the group substitutions in the same order as has been used in the presentation of the tables. The best agreement with experimental values, when they are known, has been obtained by using the minimum number of substitutions necessary to construct the molecule. For cases in which several alternative routes with the minimum number of substitutions are possible, the average of the different results should be used.
