Type:
log Pow
Partition coefficient:
4.2 - 4.3
Temp.:
25 °C
pH:
7.2
Details on results:
The log Pow of DCT is calculated based on its retention time and the HPLC calibration curve obtained from measuring the calibration substances possessing known water solubilities.

The partition coefficient of the DCT mixture is deduced from the capacity factor (k), given by the expression where, tR is the retention time of the test item, and t0 is the dead-time, i.e. the average time a solvent molecule needs to pass the column:

Capacity factor k’ = (tR– t0)/t0

tR: Retention time of the substance

t0: dead time

 

Effective correlation log k’ = a + b log Pow

 

Linear regression gives:

 

a = -0.60469

b = 0.28288

r = 0.9979

 

where a and b are the regression factors and r is the correlation factor.

Conclusions:
The log Pow of the DCT mixture is 4.2 - 4.3 at pH = 7.2 and 25°C.
Executive summary:

The log Pow of the DCT mixture is 4.2 - 4.3 at pH = 7.2 and 25 °C as determined with the HPLC method based on OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals No: 117.

Description of key information

In the key study, the log Pow of the DCT mixture is 4.2 - 4.3 (mean: 4.25) as determined with the HPLC method based on OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals No: 117 (Neuland, 2010). This value approximately lies within the range of 3.83 - 4.29 for other sources (experimental and QSAR) of partition coefficients of the individual DCT isomers (ChemIDplus, 2009; EPIWIN, 2009; Hansch & Leo, 1995; Verschueren, 1996).
