PREPARATION OF SAMPLE SOLUTION
1.9940 g of test substance was diluted to 100 mL with methanol.

PREPARATION OF REFERENCE SOLUTIONS
The dead time was determined by measuring the retention time of formamide (purity 99.5 %, 1.14 x 10E3 mg/L) solution in methanol.
Acetanilide, phenol, atrazine, isoproturon, naphthalene, fenthion, alpha endosulfan, pyrazophos, phenanthrene, diclofop-methyl and DDT served as reference standards and were prepared in methanol.

HPLC PARAMETERS
- System: Hewlett-Packard 1050, incorporating autosampler and workstation
- Column: Hypersil 5µ CN BDS (250 mm x 4.6 mm id)
- Column temperature: 30 °C
- Mobile phase: methanol:water (55:45 v/v)
- pH of mobile phase: 5.9
- Flow rate: 1.0 mL/min
- UV detector wavelength: 210 nm
- Injection volume: 10 µL

CALCULATION OF CAPACITY FACTORS (k)
k = tr - t0 / t0
whereby:
k - capacity factor
tr - retention time [min]
t0 - dead time [min]

Results: HPLC method

Details on results (HPLC method):
The measurement of adsorption coefficient should be carried out on substances in their ionised and unionised forms. However the dissociation constants of the test substance are outside the environmental pH range required for this test (it is also not practical to employ such low pH (~3) or high pH (~12) in the test); since adjustment was not environmentally relevant or experimentally practical, measurement was carried out on the ionised form only.
A calculated value of adsorption coefficient was derived for each whole salt using a computer-based atom fragment contribution method. The result was logKoc = 4.3 and 6.2.
The components of the test substance were also considered and calculated individually. The two acid components gave logKoc values of 1.9 and 3.9, and the amine component gave a logKoc of 2.8.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Remarks:
Validity criteria of the applied guideline were fulfilled.
Conclusions:
The study report describes a valid guideline study conducted under certificated GLP compliance. The adsorption coefficient has been determined to be in the range < 17.8 - 4.93 x 10E3 with a corresponding logKoc range of < 1.25 - 3.69.
Executive summary:

The determination of the adsorption coefficient was carried out using the High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) screening method specified in the draft of the OECD Guideline 121 (Lumsden, 1999). The test substance was diluted with methanol. The dead time was determined using formamide and acetanilide, phenol, atrazine, isoproturon, naphthalene, fenthion, alpha endosulfan, pyrazophos, phenanthrene, diclofop-methyl and DDT served as reference standards. The temperature was set at 30 °C and the pH of the mobile phase was measured as 5.9. The measurement of adsorption coefficient should be carried out on substances in their ionised and unionised forms. However the dissociation constants of the test substance are outside the environmental pH range required for this test (it is also not practical to employ such low pH (~3) or high pH (~12) in the test); since adjustment was not environmentally relevant or experimentally practical, measurement was carried out on the ionised form only. A calculated value of adsorption coefficient was derived for each whole salt using a computer-based atom fragment contribution method. The result was logKoc = 4.3 and 6.2. The components of the test substance were also considered and calculated individually. The two acid components gave logKoc values of 1.9 and 3.9, and the amine component gave a logKoc of 2.8. The overall logKoc is in the range < 1.25 - 3.69. The adsorption coefficient (Koc) is therefore in the range < 17.8 - 4.93 x 10E3.
