Quantitative structure-property relationships for octanol-air partition coefficients of polychlorinated biphenyls.
Chemosphere 48, 535-544 (2002)
Based on nine quantum chemical descriptors computed by PM3 Hamiltonian, using partial least squares analysis, a significant quantitative structure–property relationship for the logarithm of octanol–air partition coefficients (logKOA) of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) was obtained. The cross-validated Q2cum value of the model is 0.962, indicating a good predictive ability. The intermolecular dispersive interactions and thus the size of the PCB molecules play a key role in governing logKOA. The greater the size of PCB molecules, the greater the logKOA values. Increasing ELUMO (the energy of the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital) values of the PCBs leads to decreasing logKOA values, indicating possible interactions between PCB and octanol molecules. Increasing QCl+ (the most positive net atomic charges on a chlorine atom) and QC− (the largest negative net atomic charge on a carbon atom) values of PCBs results in decreasing logKOA values, implying possible intermolecular electrostatic interactions between octanol and PCB molecules.
