Hi there
Yesterday we talked about IOR and reflection amount in this topic:
And I always find it hard to estimate the amount of reflection at a specific IOR, so I decided to create a chart where one can see the relations between the two in a straightforward fashion.
I didn't find anything similar on the web but maybe I was looking in the wrong places. When someone has other sources for this, please tell here!

Looks interesting but i don't really see the way to implement it... Could you elaborate please?

Here is my secret Cheat Sheet.
I have updated it with sample values from Corona 1.4 (2016-02-06 Daily), in case there have been ninja fixes.
Plastic = 2-5% reflectance = 1.3 - 1.6 IOR
Gemstones = 17% reflectance = 2.4 IOR

Wow, awesome!
Funny that you our results differ tremendously from each other.
You reach 50% @IOR 6, me on the other hand @IOR 2.7. Did I some huge mistake there or am I just unable to read your table?
I created a scene, RGB 255 Environment, Box object, orthographic viewport facing a side of the box, rendering and colorpicking the rendered grey values while adjusting the IOR of the box's diffuse lacking fully reflective material.

Hey man, I've been afk the last couple of days.
I got 91 flat planes that rotate from 0 to 90 degrees.
"Environment Map" is pure White and the material has Black diffuse.
I render front view in orthographic, select the "CESSENTIAL_Reflect" element and sample the 0 degrees plane.
You can do this quick calculation and compare it with the sampled data.
Reflectivity = ((1-IOR)/(1+IOR))^2
Example:
Reflectivity of 1.5 IOR = ((1-1.5)/(1+1.5))^2 = 4% | Corona 4.03%
Reflectivity of 50 IOR = ((1-50)/(1+50))^2 = 92.31% | Corona 92.90%
Edit:

and here is the difference between "1.0 Reflection" and "0.5 Reflection"
