1. We do not claim the values presented in this paper to act as a “gold standard”, although we are not fully convinced by Wania et al. on the arguments for the reported values being too low either (see also below for our discussion on the COSMOtherm predictions). We need comparative measurements from other instruments, noting that it is not as easy as prescribing one instrument to have a particular low or high bias (eg, ref 2). We thank the authors for adding the existing data to ours to confirm some level of confidence in the values presented while highlighting potential problems. The authors present interesting arguments on why the data for dihydroxynaphthalenes might be too low, although the arguments seem to be mostly heuristic in nature. It is unclear what might cause this behavior in the KEMS particularly as, for example, the KEMS data included in Bilde et al. 1 tends to be rather on the high than the low side, over 4 orders of magnitude of VPs (Pa). Previous discussions on potential for sources of uncertainty in the KEMS include varying sample phase state, statistical noise, ionization cross sections or lack of appropriate calibration standard in multiple volatility ranges, all described in detail by Booth et al. 3 However, we estimate that this results in a maximum uncertainty of 40% in experimentally determined solid state vapor pressures, a maximum uncertainty of 75% in the subcooled liquid state and will not result in a systematic error. These are exactly the type of reasons why more and reliable data on fundamental properties of, for example, atmospherically relevant chemicals is needed using various experimental setups. While the COSMOtherm calculations can indeed give some useful insights, without such hard empirical data it is impossible to conclude whether they values we present for dihydroxynaphtalines or dinitronaphtaline are biased low or not.2. This is a useful addition. We would like to point out that albeit more fundamentally sound than the standard group contribution techniques, it is apparent that also COSMOtherm has been “calibrated” with a parametrization data set of known chemicals. 4 This methodology is thus likely affected by the same lack of reliable empirical data for low-volatility species as the standard group contribution methods. While the authors do not advocate the use of COSMOtherm in predicting saturation vapor pressures despite comparisons made, a
