  1. aProton accepting powers : the data are cited from a table of Kagiya et al. [18], Crowley and others [19] and Ishimaru and others [20].
  2. bLiquid having both proton-accepting and donating properties for hydrogen bonding
  3. cLiquid having only proton-accepting properties for hydrogen bonding
  4. dCohesion energy : the data are calculated from the solubility parameter values in a table by Hansen [21]
  5. eRelative swelling compared with that in water : the data are cited from a table of Sakai and others [22] and Ishimaru and others [23]
