I can't obtain the original paper about TLSER, thus I ask for your help here. Thank you very much for your concern. In one paper, the general form of TLSER is give as following: log(\gamma)=c_0+c_1V_{mc}+c_2\pi_1+c_3\epsilon_\beta +c_4q^-+c_5\epsilon_\alpha+c_6q^+ where, V_{mc} is the intrinsic molecular volume. and \pi_1=\alpha/V_{mc}, here \alpha is polarizability. In the other paper, the general form of TLSER is given as: log(\gamma)=c_0+c_1V_{mc}+c_2\pi^*+c_3\epsilon_\beta +c_4q^-+c_5\epsilon_\alpha+c_6q^+ where V_{mc} is the molecular van der Waals volume calculated according to the methods of Hopfinger (J. Am. Chem. Soc., 1980, 102, 7196), and the polarizability term \pi^* is derived from the polarization volume computed by the method of Kurtz(J. Comput. Chem. 1990, 11, 82). My first question is what's the right form of TLSER? And the second question is how to calculate the above mentioned several parameters, i.e., V_{mc}, \pi_1 or \pi^* and polarizability \alpha. The last question is whether there is a standard way or an alternative way to calculate molecular volume. It seems that different program give different molecular volume. Thank you very much for your patience to read though it, and look forward to your response.
