Abstract
The capacity factors (k′) were determined by reversed phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) on C18 column for 18 polychlorinated organic compounds (PCOCs). Quantum chemical parameters and linear solvation energy descriptors were calculated for the tested chemicals and used to develop quantitative structure property relationships (QSPR).
Results demonstrated that the quantum chemical parameters could be used to predict k′ and n-octanol/water partition coefficients (Kow) for the test compounds, and the RP-HPLC was a simple and reliable method for prediction of Kow.
