Estimation Using Log Kow

A traditional method of estimating soil adsorption Koc involves correlations developed with log octanol-water partition coefficient (log Kow) (Doucette, 2000).  Since an expanded experimental Koc database was available from the new MCI regression, it was decided to develop a log Kow estimation methodology that was potentially more accurate than existing log Kow QSARs for diverse structure datasets. 

Effectively, the new log Kow methodology simply replaces the MCI descriptor with log Kow and derives similar equations.  The derivation uses the same training and validation data sets.  The training set is divided into the same non-polar (no correction factors) and correction factor sets.  The same correction factors are also used. 

Separate equations correlating log Koc with log Kow were derived for nonpolar and polar compounds because it was statistically more accurate to do so than to use the approach taken with the MCI-based method.  The equation derived by the non-polar (no correction factor) regression is:


 log Koc  =  0.8679 Log Kow  -  0.0004

    (n = 68, r2 = 0.877, std dev = 0.478, avg dev = 0.371)

One non-polar compound was removed from the regression (hexabromobiphenyl) because it was the only compound without a recommended experimental log Kow and the accuracy of its estimated log Kow (9.10) is suspect.  This equation is used for any compound having no correction factors.
 

For the multiple-linear regression using correction factors, log Kow was included as an individual descriptor.  For compounds having correction factors, the equation is:

  log Koc  =  0.55313 Log Kow  +  0.9251 + ΣPfN  

where ΣPfN is the summation of the products of all applicable correction factor coefficients from Appendix D multiplied by the number of times (N) that factor is counted for the structure.

Additional information

Log Koc of Butyldigylcol methacrylate was estimated with EpiSuite v4.1 (KOCWIN (v2.00). Based on a measured log Pow the log Koc was estimated to be 2.393, indicating a low adsorption potential. The substance is non-ionising and readily biodegradable. Therefore testing of adsorption/desorption is not required.
