Mean log10Pow:          greater than 6.5
Partition coefficient:  greater than 3.16 x 106

Discussion:

The result from the preliminary test indicated that the HPLC method was suitable for determination of partition coefficient for this test item.

The method guidelines suggest methanol as the organic solvent used for the mobile phase, however tetrahydrofuran was used instead due to the low solubility of the test item in methanol. The calibration curve constructed from the reference standard data was acceptable therefore the use of THF was assessed as acceptable.

Conclusions:
The partition coefficient of the test item has been determined to be greater than 3.16 x 10^6, log10 Pow > 6.5.
Executive summary:

Partition Coefficient (n-octanol/water). Greater than 3.16 x 106, log10Pow> 6.5, using the HPLC method, designed to be compatible with Method A.8 Partition Coefficient of Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 of 30 May 2008 and Method 117 of the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals, 13 April 2004.
