Details on results:
A first scan of the solutions was performed in the range 190 – 800 nm to choose the best wavelength peak for the quantitative measurements. In the case of the test item: lambda= 416 nm.Concentration of the n-octanol phase was very low: even applying direct measurement of the n-octanol phase, absorbance values were far below the lower limit of the spectrometrer's sensibility.
Conclusions:
log Pow = - 2.0528
Executive summary:

Method

Partition coefficient was determined by OECD Guideline 107 (Partition Coefficient (n-octanol / water), Shake Flask Method), adopted 27.05.95.

n- octanol and double distilled water were pre saturated: enough quantity of double distilled water was mixed with n-octanol at room temperature and kept under agitation during 24 hours, then allowing phase separation. Analogous procedure was followed for n-octanol with addition of double distilled water.

Approximately exactly 0.1 g test sample was weighed and dissolved with double distilled water saturated in n-octanol to 250 ml in a volumetric flask (mother solution). pH was recorded.

Results

The average Pow measured is 0.012691 at pH of 6.05, the average log Pow measured is - 2.0528 at 20 °C.
