The characteristic molecular volume parameter suggested by Palatinus et al . [ J. Phys. Org. Chem. , DOI: 10.1002/poc.1065] is used in predicting the enthalpies of vaporization of 41 branched acyclic alkanes. Calculations provide one additional example illustrating where the use of the Palatinus et al . characteristic molecular volume parameter over the Abraham‐McGowan molecular volume parameter led to a better mathematical description/description of thermodynamic and/or physical property data for branched acyclic alkanes.
