Type of information:
calculation (if not (Q)SAR)
Adequacy of study:
weight of evidence
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
accepted calculation method
Justification for type of information:
Internationally accepted calculation method, EPI-Suite EPA (USA): KOCWIN v2.00
Qualifier:
no guideline available
Principles of method if other than guideline:
KOCWIN estimates Koc with two separate estimation methodologies:

(1) Estimation using first-order Molecular Connectivity Index (MCI):
KOCWIN (version 1) estimated Koc solely with a QSAR utilizing Molecular Connectivity Index (MCI).  This QSAR estimation methodology is described completely in a journal article (Meylan et al, 1992) and in a report prepared for the US EPA (SRC, 1991). KOCWIN (version 2) utilizes the same methodology, but the QSAR has been re-regressed using a larger database of experimental Koc values that includes many new chemicals and structure types.
(2) Estimation using log Kow (octanol-water partition coefficient):
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.

Conclusions:
KOCWIN predicted that Pentaerithrityl tetranitrate has an estimated Koc of 647.9 L/kg (MCI method)

Description of key information

Using a structure estimation method based on molecular connectivity indices (KOCWIN v2.00) the Koc of pentaerythritol pentanitrate can be estimated to be 650.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Koc at 20 °C:
650

Additional information

An estimated Koc value of 650 indicates that pentaerythritol tetranitrate is expected to have low mobility in soil.
