The values of LogP for the reference substances are those quoted in the OECD guideline No. 117.

For each of the three injections of the reference solution, a plot of log k verses log P was performed using least squares linear regression. Writing the general equation for a straight line thus y = ( b . x ) + a

 We have for the three injections the following values:

           y-Intercept, a    Gradient, b      Correlation coefficient

1         -0.50652           0.308517          0.993569

2         -0.50331           0.307861          0.993589

3         -0.50422           0.308003          0.99355


From six determinations of the octanol / water partition coefficient for the test substance the following values were determined:

Log Pow = 5.13 ( ± 0.14 )

Log Pow = 5.13 ( ± 0.14 )

Log Pow = 5.12 ( ± 0.14 )

Log Pow = 5.12 ( ± 0.14 )

Log Pow = 5.12 ( ± 0.14 )

Log Pow = 5.12 ( ± 0.14 )

These may be averaged to give a Final result of:

Log Pow = 5.12 ( ± 0.14 )

The figure in parentheses represents one standard deviation of the linear least squares fit.


Conclusions:
At 25 °C the partition coefficient (n-octanol / water) of the test substance was found to be 5.12 ± 0.14.
Executive summary:

The octanol-water partition coefficient (Log Pow) of the test substance was determined using the HPLC method according to OECD TG 117 following GLP principles. At 25 °C the partition coefficient (n-octanol / water) of the test substance was found to be 5.12 ± 0.14.
