Key result
Type:
log Pow
Partition coefficient:
6.68
Temp.:
25 °C
pH:
6.2
Remarks on result:
other: extrapolated from the measured data
Details on results:
The partition coefficient Pow was determined based on a calibration curve using seven reference items. The capacity factors k were calculated from the dead time and the retention times of the reference substances. The log k data of the reference substances were plotted against their log Pow values. From this correlation graph of the reference items, the partition coefficient of the test item was extrapolated.
Conclusions:
The retention time of 1,1'-(1,1,2,2-tetramethylethylene)dibenzene is higher than the last eluting reference item. Thus, the log Pow of the test item was estimated to be > 6.5. The extrapolated log Pow value calculated for the test item was 6.68.
Executive summary:

The partition coefficient of 1,1'-(1,1,2,2-tetramethylethylene)dibenzene was determined according to EU method A.8, OECD Guideline 117, and EPA OPPTS 830.7570 guideline. Using the HPLC method the partition coefficient log Pow of the test item was determined to be > 6.5. The estimated log Pow of the test item is 6.68 at 25 °C.
