Description:
Octanol/water partition coefficients were extracted from the literature, calculated using a molecular fragment database (CLOGP), or measured in the laboratory for selected chemicals. Agreement between measured values and calculated values was good for chemicals for which both members of six chemical classes: polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons, chlorinated hydrocarbons, phosphate esters, nitrogen mustards, alkylamines, and amines. Measurement of the octanol/water partition coefficients of two standard reference chemicals, pyrene and biphenyl were interspersed with determinations of those of compounds of interest to serve as quality assurance indicators.
