Deviations:
no
Principles of method if other than guideline:
The partition Coefficient is calculated with a QSAR based on a Fragment constant approach. In this approach a molecule is divided in distinct atoms/fragments; For each fragment (depending on the neighbouring groups) a coefficient value is calculated, which are summed together to yield the log P estimate.

The approach was tested on a training dataset containing 2447 different compounds. The correlation coefficient (R2) equalled 0.982, with a standard deviation of 0.217. The absolute deviation was 0.159.

The validation dataset contained 10,946 different compounds. The correlation coefficient (R2) equalled 0.943, with a standard deviation of 0.479. The absolute deviation equalled 0.356.

Currently there is no universally accepted definition of the model domain, however estimates are less accurate for compounds with a molecular weight that is outside the MW range of the training set. min MW training set 18.02, max MW training set 719.92.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Log Kow (Log Pow):
2.6
at the temperature of:
25 °C

Additional information

The key value for CSA was derived from the estimated values of the UVCB constituents (nonanoic acid, octanoic acid, heptanoic acid, hexanoic acid and valeric acid and lactones) each of them weighed with the its typical concentration in the legal entity composition.

The obtained value is 2.6
