tR1, tR2, tRm : retention times (1stcalibration, 2ndcalibration, average)

k= (tR/t0)-1 : capacity factor, t0: “dead time”, i.e. retention time of thiourea

Linear regression parameters: Log Pow= a * log k + b

Correlation coefficient: r²= 0.99284

Slope: a= 3.7006

Y-axis intercept: b= 2.06285

 

Test substance:

tR1= 2.706 and tR2= 2.707 therefore tRm= 2.7065

k= 0.503 therefore log k= -0.299

log Pow= 1.0

Conclusions:
The partition coefficient of the test substance was measured according to guideline OECD No.117. The partition coefficient n-octanol/water of the test substance was found to be log Pow= 1.0.

The determination was performed at 35 °C (temperature of the column), but this value can be considered to represent the value at an unspecified, probably ambient temperature since no mention is made in the guidelines of the temperature at which the tabulated reference substances log Pow values were determined. Partition coefficients of the test and reference substances are assumed to vary with temperature in the same way.
Executive summary:

The partition coefficient n-octanol/ water of the test item was determined by the Reverse Phase High Performance Liquid Chromatographic Method according to OECD Guidelines for Testing Chemicals, Method No. 117.

The result is: Log Pow= 1.0
