In the 1970s, IUPAC’s Solubility Data Commission (now the Subcommittee on Solubility and Equilibrium Data) embarked on a project to compile and critically evaluate experimental data for solubility in systems of scientific and practical interest. The first volume in the IUPAC Solubility Data Series, covering the solubility of helium and neon in liquid solvents, was published in 1979. Subsequent years saw many volumes on gas-liquid, liquid-liquid, and solid-liquid solubilities. These volumes are an invaluable scientific resource.
Now, thanks to an agreement between IUPAC (which holds the copyright to these volumes) and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), NIST has made the contents of these monographs (Volumes 1-65) freely available in digitized PDF form online at the website: http://srdata.nist.gov/solubility/IUPAC/iupac.aspx.
Some volumes on the site are broken into subsections with Table of Contents; this feature will be extended to the rest of the volumes as resources permit.
Beginning with Volume 66 in 1998, this series was renamed the IUPAC-NIST Solubility Data Series, with several volumes each year (up to Volume 103 so far) published in the Journal of Physical and Chemical Reference Data; see http://jpcrd.aip.org. Links to these publications are provided from the NIST site.
