Key result
Type:
log Pow
Partition coefficient:
> 4.7
Temp.:
25 °C
pH:
ca. 7
Details on results:
The pH of the test solution was not measured. However, as the test substance is no acid/base and barely soluble, the substance has no influence on the pH. The pH of the HPLC solvents Acetonitrile and water are about pH7.

Conclusions:
The log Pow of the test item was determined to be above 4.7 and estimated to be logPow 8.6 (highest calibration standard) (reference 4.7 -1).
Executive summary:

A study was conducted in accordance with OECD TG 117 and Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 method A.8 to determine the partition coefficient of the test substance using the HPLC method. The n-octanol/water partition coefficient of the test substance was derived from its retention time and the calibration graph. The retention time of the test item was above the retention time of the highest calibration standard (logPow 4.7) and thus out of the calibration range. Therefore, the partition coefficient n-octanol/water of the test substance was determined to be above 4.7 and estimated to be logPow 8.6.

Description of key information
