Final Results

The partition coefficients (1-octanol/water) of Mefenpyr-diethyl (AE F107892), pure substance, were determined according to the European Commission Council Regulation (EC) No 440/2008, Annex, Part A, method A.8., OECD Guideline 117 and US EPA Product Properties Test Guideline OCSPP 830.7570 (HPLC-method). Nine neutral calibration substances were injected into an HPLC-system under the same analytical conditions as the test item (column temperature 25 °C). Calibration curves were created by using the measured retention times (log k’-values) and the known log POW-values of the calibration substances for linear regression. The measured log k’-values of the test item were within the calibrated log k’-range. From the resulted calibration curves and their equations the log POW values of the test item were interpolated for pH 4, pH 7 and pH 9.

The partition coefficients (1-octanol / water) of the test item were:

Validation of the analytical procedure:

For the determination of recovery rates 20 mL of bidistilled water were spiked at 3 concentration levels (0.1 mg/L, 0.25 mg/L, 2 mg/L) with 1 ml of a stock solution containing Hoe 107892 in acetonitrile. The resulting solutions were subjected to the analytical procedure as described in Details on methods. Experimentally found concentrations were compared with the theoretical values and the recovery rate was determined as 103.5% with a standard deviation of 2.3%. Individual values of recovery rates are listed in the table:

The HPLC method had been determined earlier as linear up to a concentration of the sample solution of 40mg/100mL. The limit of detection was determined as 3x the noise level of blank solutions. A value of the limit of detection = approx. 18 mg/L for the octanol phase and approx. 0.015 mg/L for the aqueous phase, sufficiently lower than the lowest concentration in the experiment (approx. 0.05 mg/L for the aqueous phase).

Log Kow (Log Pow):

25 °C

Additional information

Determination at 21° C and pH=6.3 Kow: 6783

log Kow (= log P): 3.83

The partition coefficient was determined at pH 6.3 only because the substance has neither acidic nor basic function groups and thus dissociation, if any, is negligible. The Log Pow has been calculated for a range of pH values. Log P = 3.24 ± 0.65 for pH 4 to 10. Additionally, the Log Pow has been calculated from the solubilities in resp. water and n-octanol, due to the value obtained for the surface tension: Log Pow = 3.7.
