Abstract
A novel QSPR development technique is proposed with the aim to combine the advantages of the two methods most frequently applied. A quantitative structure–property relationship (QSPR) is developed using this technique to relate the molecular structures of 645 diverse organic compounds to their vapor pressures at 25
°C expressed as log
VP. The compounds are encoded with topological, electronic, geometrical, and hybrid type descriptors calculated by CODESSA PRO software. The best QSPR model involves four descriptors and has
