Description of key information

The partition coefficient of the test item has been determined to be 1.27 x 10ˆ3 at 22.0 ± 0.5°C, log10 Pow 3.11, using the shake-flask method, designed to be compatible with Method A8 Partition Coefficient of Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 of 30 May 2008 and Method 107 of the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals, 27 July 1995. However, it is critical to note that there was a failure of correlation between the water solubility data and the concentrations of test item detected in the aqueous phase which indicated a potential systematic error/interference in the definitive test.

As stated previously, although a chromatographic peak was resolved by the analytical method, even on the application of a mass selective detector, the analytical method may not have been substance specific to the test item. Organotin compounds, due to thermal instability, do not result in a detectable parent mass ion on analysis. The ion monitored analytically was that of a tin adduct with tropolone (introduced as a mobile phase additive). Therefore analytical values for the aqueous phase may have been subject to interference from the presence of water soluble tin containing impurities and/or hydrolysis products which would partition from the organic phase into the aqueous phase leading to the systematic underestimation of the partition coefficient of the parent test item.
