- Performance of the Study
The principle of the test method is similar to that of the OECD guideline no. 117: "Partition coefficient (n-octanol/water), high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method". While passing through the column along with the mobile phase the test item interacts with the stationary phase. As a result of partitioning between mobile and stationary phases, the test item is retarded. The dual composition of a cyanopropyl stationary phase, having polar and non-polar sites allows for interaction of polar and non-polar groups of a molecule in a similar way as is the case for organic matter in soil or sewage sludge matrices. This enables the relationship between the retention time on the column and the Koc on organic matter to be established.
According to the guidelines, the determination of the Koc for test items that are ionized for at least 10% within pH 5.5 to 7.5 should be performed with both the ionized and non-ionized form. Based on the provided information by the sponsor, it was expected that the test item is not ionized within pH 5.5 to 7.5, and therefore the HPLC method was performed at neutral pH.
Solutions of reference substances with known log Koc values based on soil adsorption data and the test item were analyzed. The capacity factor (k') of each compound was calculated from its retention time. The log k’ values of the references substances were plotted against the known log Koc values. A linear regression program was used to calculate the calibration curve. Linear regression analysis was performed using the least squares method. The coefficient of correlation (r) was calculated. The log Koc value for the test item was calculated by substituting its mean log k’ in the calibration curve. The value of log Koc obtained from duplicate measurements was within ± 0.25 log units.

Preparation of Solutions
Solution of the Unretained Compound
A 5 g/L stock solution of formamide (99.3%, [75-12-7], Alfa Aesar, Karlsruhe, Germany) in methanol was used. The stock solution was diluted to obtain an end solution of 55/45 (v/v) methanol/water.
The formamide blank solution was 55/45 (v/v) methanol/water.
Reference Substance Solution
Stock solutions of the reference substances at concentrations of approximately 1 g/L in methanol or acetonitrile were used. The stock solutions were diluted to obtain an end solution of 55/45 (v/v) methanol/water.
The blank solution for the mixture of reference substances was 55/45 (v/v) methanol/water.
Test Solution
A 8000 mg/L stock solution of the test item was prepared in methanol.
The test item blank solution was methanol.
Sample Injections
Reference substance and test item solutions were injected in duplicate. Blank solutions were analyzed by single injection. - Key result

- Details on results (HPLC method):
- In the chromatogram of the test item solution, in total 42 test item specific signals were detected with varying signal intensity. Only the relevant peaks were used for determination of the Koc and log Koc values. The first and second peak had retention times below 0.906 min (log Koc < 1.26, relative peak area <5%). The third peak had a retention time of 1.44 minutes (log Koc between 2.55 and 2.75, relative peak area <0.25%). The fourth and fifth peak had a retention time between 1.77-1.92 minutes (log Koc between 2.87 and 3.31, relative peak area <3.7%). The sixth till seventieth peak had a retention time between 2.15-4.43 minutes (log Koc between 4.09 and 5.63, relative peak area <4.5%). Under the same analytical conditions, the retention time of 4,4’-DDT (log Koc = 5.63) was 4.4 minutes. All other peaks in the chromatogram appeared at retention times of > 4.4 minutes and a log Koc > 5.63. The responses of the five largest peaks of these peaks were used for calculation of the Koc and log Koc values. These calculated values were extrapolated from the curve.
