Remarks on result:

other: No pH value was measured as the test item does not have functional groups with influence the result of the test.

Details on results:

Validity criteria were assessed and all were met.

The results of the reference items were as follows:

Reference item	Log Pow	1^stcalibration			2^ndcalibration
		tR1(min)	k	Log k	tR2(min)	k	Log k
Allyl phenyl ether	2.9	2.885	4.41	0.645	2.901	4.44	0.648
Ethylbenzene	3.2	3.962	6.43	0.808	3.990	6.49	0.81
Isopropylbenzene	3.7	5.111	8.59	0.934	5.146	8.65	0.937
n-Butylbenzene	4.6	8.295	14.6	1.16	8.357	14.7	1.17
Fluoranthene	5.1	9.845	17.5	1.24	9.904	17.6	1.25
Triphenylamine	5.7	13.759	24.8	1.39	13.862	25.0	1.40
DDT	6.5	19.914	36.4	1.56	19.558	35.7	1.55

Both calibrations had a R value > 0.9.

Two individual log Pow values were derived under consideration of the first and second calibration.

Replicate	tR(min)	k	Log k	Log Pow (1^stcalibration)	Log Pow (2^ndcalibration)
1 2	8.364 8.366	14.7 14.7	1.17 1.17	4.79 ± 0.06	4.78 ± 0.07
Mean	8.365	14.7	1.17	4.78

Conclusions:

The partition coefficient log Pow of the test item was determined to be 4.78 at 23.0°C.

Executive summary:

In the current study the partition coefficient (n-octanol/water) of the test item was determined according to OECD Guideline 117 (2004). The test was performed with a concentration of 20 mg/L of the test item in 65% acetonitrile : 35% HPLC water. Samples were analysed via HPLC on a C18 column with diode array detection. Calibration was performed using several reference items with known log Pow values. The reference items were measured twice, once before and once after the measurement of the test item. The void time of the HPLC system was determined with sodium nitrate.

The validity criteria were reached.

Two individual log Pow values for the test item were derived (first and second calibration). Finally, a mean value was calculated from these individual log Pow values. The partition coefficient log Pow was determined to be 4.78 at 23.0°C.
