Direct measurement of the n-octanol partition coefficients (K<sub>OW</sub>) for highly hydrophobic organic chemicals is extremely difficult because of the extremely low concentrations present in the water phase. n-Butanol/water partition coefficients (K<sub>BW</sub>) are generally much lower than K<sub>OW</sub> due to the increased solubility of solute in the alcohol saturated aqueous phase, and therefore become easier to measure. We measured the K<sub>BW</sub> for 25 neutral organic chemicals h ...[more]
