- Endpoint:
- partition coefficient
- Type of information:
- (Q)SAR
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Reliability:
- 2 (reliable with restrictions)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- results derived from a valid (Q)SAR model, but not (completely) falling into its applicability domain, with adequate and reliable documentation / justification
- Justification for type of information:
- Please refer to the QMRF and QPRF files provided under the section attached justification.
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- other: REACH guidance on QSAR R.6
- Deviations:
- no
- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- Estimates the log octanol-water partition coefficient, log KOW, of chemicals using an atom/fragment contribution method.
- GLP compliance:
- no
- Type of method:
- calculation method (fragments)
- Partition coefficient type:
- octanol-water
- Specific details on test material used for the study:
- SMILES: [Li]Br
- Key result
- Type:
- log Pow
- Partition coefficient:
- ca. -0.37
- Temp.:
- 25 °C
- Remarks on result:
- other: The substance is not within the applicability domain of the model.
- Conclusions:
- Using KOWWIN v1.68 the logPow of lithium bromide was calculated to be -0.37 at 25 °C. The substance is not within the applicability domain of the model. Thus the estimation may be less accurate.
- Executive summary:
Lithium bromide is an inorganic salt that quickly dissociates in water forming the lithium and bromide ion. Therefore a laboratory study determining the partition coefficient is technically not feasible. The calculation of the partition coefficient of lithium bromide with EPI Suite v4.11 can be seen as estimation as only a few inorganic compounds were included in the training data set of the program. But taken into account the quick dissociation of lithium bromide in water this EPI Suite estimation can be regarded as adequate enough to be used for the risk assessment.
The log Pow was calculated using KOWWIN v1.68 as part of EPISuite v4.11 from US Environmental Protection Agency.
Using KOWWIN v1.68 the log Kow of the test item was calculated to be -0.37 at 25 °C (EPI Suite).
The adequacy of a prediction depends on the following conditions:
a) the (Q)SAR model is scientifically valid: the scientific validity is established according to the OECD principles for (Q)SAR validation;
b) the (Q)SAR model is applicable to thequery chemical: a (Q)SAR is applicable if the query chemical falls within the defined applicability domain of the model;
c) the (Q)SAR result is reliable: a valid (Q)SAR that is applied to a chemical falling within its applicability domain provides a reliable result;
d) the (Q)SAR model is relevant for the regulatory purpose.
For assessment and justification of these 4 requirements the QMRF and QPRF files were developed and attached to this study record.

Description of key information
According to column 2 of REACH Regulation 1907/2006/EC Annex VII section 7.8, the test on partition coefficient n-octanol/water does not need to be conducted as lithium bromide is an inorganic compound. Further, the theoretical, calculated log Pow is very low as expected for an inorganic salt.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Log Kow (Log Pow):
- -0.37
- at the temperature of:
- 25 °C
Additional information
Lithium bromide quickly dissociates in water forming the lithium and bromide ion. Therefore a laboratory study determining the partition coefficient is technically not feasible. The calculation of the partition coefficient of lithium bromide with EPI Suite v4.10 can be seen as estimation as only a few inorganic compounds were included in the training data set of the program. But taken into account the quick dissociation of lithium bromide in water this EPI Suite estimation can be regarded as adequate enough to be used for the risk assessment.
The partition coefficient of lithium bromide was estimated using KOWWIN v1.68 embedded in EPI Suite v4.10 of EPA’s Office of Pollution Prevention Toxics and Syracuse Research Corporation (SRC). The program is a screening level tool and estimates the log octanol/water partition coefficient log Pow of chemicals using an atom/fragment contribution method. Lithium bromide has a molecular weight of 86.85 g/mol and therefore fits to the applicability domain of this model. A log Pow of -0.37 was derived for the test item.
