Details on results:
The solubility in n-octanol was measured to be 72.0 g/L
The solubility in water was measured (study ID 190927KK / CMC18809N) to be 5.34 mg/L
The Pow and log Pow were estimated from the n-octanol / water solubility ratio to be 13483 and 4.13, respectively

For the determination of the solubility in n‑octanol, a total of six successive samples were taken with incubation time from 22.9 – 122 h. The equilibrium was verified over the last five sampling intervals and thus the solubility was determined based on the mean values of these five sampling intervals.

 

 

Check of the Temperature

Test Results

A total of six samplings were performed. The solubility of the test item in n‑octanol was determined using the last five samplings as suggested by the OECD 105 guideline, which was adapted for this study.

Result of the Water Solubility

The water solubility, expressed as the critical micelle concentration, was determined during the course of the study ID 190927KK / CMC18809N to be 5.34 mg/L (20 °C).

 

Calculation of the Partition Coefficient

Individual solubility in n-Octanol: 72.0 g/L

Individual solubility in Water: 5.34 mg/L

Pow: 13483

log Pow: 4.13

 

 

Conclusions

 

The individual solubilities of the test item were determined for 20 °C to be 72.0 g/L in n‑octanol and 5.34 mg/L in water.

The partition coefficient (log Pow) of the test item was calculated to be 4.13 (20 ± 1 °C).

Calculation based on SPARC version v4.6, "LogD" model

- Software tool(s) used including version: SPARC v4.6
- Model(s) used: LogD
SPARC calculates the liquid-liquid distribution coefficient as a function of pH. The calculation method conbines the output of two other models: the octanol / water partition coefficient (LogPow) model included in the "Properties" section, and the pKa (dissociation constant) model.
The LogPow is obtained by combining the calculated activities at infinite dilution of the molecular species of interest in each of the liquid phases, as described by Hilal et al. 2004.
For the pKa calculation, SPARC breaks the molecule into two type of functional units: the reaction center (with known chemical properties) and the perturber. pKa of the reaction center is adjusted for the molecule in question using the mechanistic perturbation models.
For the complete method's description see field 'Any other information on materials and methods incl. tables'.
The datasets used for the LogPow and pKa models development and for the external validation are described in the field 'Any other information on materials and methods incl. tables'.
