Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Log Pow of 4-Bromobenzonitrile is 2.3
Executive summary:

The determinaiton of the partition coefficient (n-octanol/water) was based o the following guidelines:

OECD Guidelines for the testing of chemicals, Guideline No. 117: "Partition coefficient (n-octanol/water) Hich Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) method" (adopted March 30, 1989).

ECC directive 92/69 ECC, Part A, Methods for the determination of physico-chemical properties, A.8: "Partition coefficient", ECC Publication no. L383, December 1992.

The HPLC method was chosen for the determination of the partitioncoefficient (n-octanol/water) of 4 -Bromobenzonitrile. In the HPLC chromatograms of 4 -Bromobenzonitrile using spectrophotometric detection at 210 nm, 1 test substance peak was observed and therefore 1 POW value was determined: 1.9 x 102 (log POW = 2.3).
