Abstract

The water solubilities(S) and octanol/water partition coefficients (K) of a wide variety of organic compounds have been measured. It is shown that a previously described correlation between these two parameters may be invalid for high-melting solids. Alternative methods for constructing K-S correlations are discussed.
