Octanol-water Partition Coefficient
The ''n''-octanol-water partition coefficient, ''K''ow is a partition coefficient for the two-phase system consisting of ''n''-octanol and water. ''K''ow is also frequently referred to by the symbol P, especially in the English literature. It is also called ''n''-octanol-water partition ratio. ''K''ow serves as a measure of the relationship between lipophilicity (fat solubility) and hydrophilicity (water solubility) of a substance. The value is greater than one if a substance is more soluble in fat-like solvents such as n-octanol, and less than one if it is more soluble in water. If a substance is present as several chemical species in the octanol-water system due to association or dissociation, each species is assigned its own ''K''ow value. A related value, D, does not distinguish between different species, only indicating the concentration ratio of the substance between the two phases. History In 1899, Charles Ernest Overton and Hans Horst Meyer independently proposed t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
