Hydrogen freezes at 13.99 K, oxygen at 54.36 K. However, thermo.chemical.Chemical('Hydrogen', 13).Vms or thermo.chemical.Chemical('Oxygen', 54).Vms produce no values.

Although nonmetals have multiple solid allotropes, thermo could give properties for at least the lowest-pressure molecular solids, from correlations and more phase data.

Hi Alex, Thanks for all of the bug reports. I have no problem including data along these lines, but is not on my radar at all. There is always plenty of work to do and I don't work with solids much.

Closing this issue as the above examples now provide a value. It is certainly not one I would recommend, but the extrapolation algorithms are now implemented. The calculation methodology is that of Goodman. This does not take into account the different solid phases whatsoever.
