1) For the names of the reference compounds see table above!

2) Results from the OECD guideline for the testing of chemieals No. 117: "Partition Coefficient (n-octanol/water), HPLC method" (13 April 2004).

3) Extrapolated from linearized function log Pow = f(log k' ) of the calibration data, because there are no calibration substances available with log Pow < 0.3.

The log Pow-values of the test item fall within a range of ± 0.1 units, thus the test is satisfactory.

Plot of the log k' of the calibration substances against their log Pow:

The linear regression of the log k' of the calibration substances against their log Pow has a correlation coefficient of r = 0.9901

Regression equation: Y =2.0335 * x + 0.8759

Conclusions:
Partition coefficient n-octanol / water (Pow) (OECD 117): Pow = 0.13 / log Pow = -0.9
Executive summary:

The partition coefficient n-octanol / water (Pow) of the test item was determined according to OECD guideline no. 117 [adopted on 13 April 2004] and EU test method A.8 [Directive 92/69/EEC, Official Journal L 383 A 1992] with the HPLC method. Partition coefficient n-octanol / water (Pow): Pow = 0.13 / log Pow = -0.9
