Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Endpoint:

Type of information:

Adequacy of study:
weight of evidence
Reliability:

Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
results derived from a valid (Q)SAR model and falling into its applicability domain, with limited documentation / justification
Justification for type of information:
1. SOFTWARE and MODEL
EPI Suite version 4.11

2. SMILES OR OTHER IDENTIFIERS USED AS INPUT FOR THE MODEL
SMILES : C1(=O)(C(=O)[O-])O[Fe]O
NAME : iron oxalate
CAS Number : 516-03-0

3. SCIENTIFIC VALIDITY OF THE (Q)SAR MODEL
No formal QMRF assessment of the model is currently available, however, the user's guide describes all the information.
- Defined endpoint: Partition coefficient
- Methodology : KOWWIN uses a "fragment constant" methodology to predict log P.  In a "fragment constant" method, a structure is divided into fragments (atom or larger functional groups) and coefficient values of each fragment or group are summed together to yield the log P estimate. KOWWIN’s methodology is known as an Atom/Fragment Contribution (AFC) method.  Coefficients for individual fragments and groups were derived by multiple regression of 2447 reliably measured log P values.  KOWWIN’s "reductionist" fragment constant methodology (i.e. derivation via multiple regression) differs from the "constructionist" fragment constant methodology of Hansch and Leo (1979) that is available in the CLOGP Program (Daylight, 1995).  See the Meylan and Howard (1995) journal article for a more complete description of KOWWIN’s methodology.

To estimate log P, KOWWIN initially separates a molecule into distinct atom/fragments.  In general, each non-hydrogen atom (e.g. carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, sulfur, etc.) in a structure is a "core" for a fragment; the exact fragment is determined by what is connected to the atom.  Several functional groups are treated as core "atoms"; these include carbonyl (C=O), thiocarbonyl (C=S), nitro (-NO2), nitrate (ONO2), cyano (-C/N), and isothiocyanate (-N=C=S).  Connections to each core "atom" are either general or specific; specific connections take precedence over general connections.

4. APPLICABILITY DOMAIN

- Descriptor domain: organic chemical
- Structural and mechanistic domains:
Training Set Molecular Weights: Minimum MW:  18.02 Maximum MW:  719.92 Average MW:  199.98
Appendix D of the KOWWIN Help gives the maximum number of fragments that occur in any individual compound of the training set.

Description of key information

QSAR prediction with a good reliability predicted that iron oxalate has a logKow :

  • -1.17 with Kowwin
  • -0.855 with OPERA

All these data indicates that iron oxalate has a low partitient coefficient.

The OPERA value is retained as this QSAR confirmed to be in the applicability domain.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Log Kow (Log Pow):
-0.855
