Retention times and capacity factors

The retention times of the reference items are presented in the following table.

	tR1(min)	tR2(min)	tR3 (min)	Mean (min)	Relative standard deviation
Test item	5.87	5.91	5.88	5.89	0.35%
Dead time	2.58	2.59	2.56	2.58	0.59%

log Pow / log k

The calculated values for the test item are presented in the following table.

Measurement No.  k  log k  log Pow  1  1.28 0.11  3.08   2 1.28  0.11  3.09   3 1.30  0.11  3.10   Mean      3.09  Standard deviation      0.01

log P_ow is calculated using the regression equation obtained from the reference items.

log P_ow = (log k + 1.072) / 0.382

Results obtained with another HPLC Column

The retention times capacity factors of the reference items obtained with a different C18 bonding are presented in the table below.

Compound  tR (min)  k log k   Benzene  4.09 0.86  -0.07   Trichloroethylene  5.11 1.32  0.12   Toluene 5.61  1.55  0.19   M-Xylene 8.33  2.79  0.45   1,2,4 trimethyl benzene 12.17  4.53  0.66   Benfuracarb  20.19  8.18  0.91 Butralin   37.35 15.98  1.20   Heptachlor  47.45 20.57  1.31

The linear regression of the plot log k versus log P_ow gives the following equation:

log k = (0.424 x log P_ow) - 0.919

with a coefficient of determination r² = 0.993

The retention time of the test item was 7.97 min, corresponding to a log k of 0.42. According to the previous equation, the log P_ow can be estimated to 3.16 with this column.

This result is not significantly different from the one obtained previously (3.09). It can be concluded that a change in the C18 silica bonding chemistry has not significant effects on log P_ow results.

Conclusions:

Using the HPLC method, log Pow was determined for NOPOL.

Mean retention time: 5.89 min
log Pow: 3.09 +/- 0.01

This value is the mean +/- standard deviation of three independant determinations.

Executive summary:

The purpose of the study was to determine the partition coefficient n-octanol / water (log P_ow) of NOPOL using HPLC (High Performance Liquid Chromatography).

The study was performed using the HPLC method. Eight reference items with different retention times were used to produce the calibration curve. They were chosen in relation to the expected retention time of the test item. For each reference item, two determinations were performed. The capacity factor k was calculated from the retention time of acetone (dead time) and the retention time of the respective reference item. A calibration function (log k versus log P_ow, linear fit) was determined based on literature values of P_ow for the reference items.

Using the calibration function log k versus log P_ow, the following log P_ow was determined for NOPOL:

Mean retention time: 5.89 min

log P_ow: 3.09 + 0.01

This value is the mean + standard deviation of three independant determinations.

Description of key information
