Vapour Pressure:

MPBPVP v1.43 was used to estimate the vapour pressure of 2,2'-(ethene-1,2-diyldi-4,1-phenylene)bis(1,3-benzoxazole). The estimated vapour pressure of 2,2'-(ethene-1,2-diyldi-4,1-phenylene)bis(1,3 -benzoxazole) at 25 deg C was1.71E-011 Pa =1.28E-013 mmHg

Partition Coefficient:

The partition Coefficient n-octanol/water of test chemical 2,2'-(vinylenedi-p-phenylene)bisbenzoxazole (CAS No. 1533-45-5) was determined by the Reverse Phase High Performance Liquid Chromatographic method according to OECD Guideline No. 117 for testing of Chemicals (Experimental study report, 2018). A test item solution was prepared by accurately weighing 4 mg of test item and diluted with acetonitrile up to 10 ml. Thus, the test solution concentration was 400 mg/l. The pH of test substance was 5.4.The reference substances were chosen according to estimated Pow range of the test substance and generalized calibration graph was prepared. The reference substances were 4-Acetylpyridine, Acetophenone, 4-Methoxyphenol, Phenol, Benzene, Methyl benzoate, Benzyl Benzoate, 1,4-Dichlorobenzene, 1,2,4-Trichlorobenzene, Chlorobenzene, Bromobenzene, Acetanilide, 2-Nitrophenol, 2,6-Dichlorobenzonitrile, Diphenylamine, Cinnamyl alcohol, 4-Methylbenzyl alcohol, Benzyl alcohol, Phenoxyacetic acid, Cinnamic Acid, 3-Methylbenzoic acid, Dodecanoic acid, Toluene, Ethylbenzene, n-Butylbenzene, Allyl phenyl ether, DDT having Pow value ranging from 0.5 to 6.5. The Log Pow value of the test substance 2,2'-(vinylenedi-p-phenylene)bisbenzoxazole was determined to be 5.499 ± 0.001 dimensionless at 25°C. On the basis of this value, test substance 2,2'-(vinylenedi-p-phenylene)bisbenzoxazole can be considered to be hydrophobic in nature.
