Partition of Neutral Molecules and Ions from Water to o -Nitrophenyl Octyl Ether and of Neutral Molecules from the Gas Phase to o -Nitrophenyl Octyl Ether.

We have set out an equation for partition of 87 neutral molecules from water to o -nitrophenyl octyl ether, NPOE, an equation for partition of the 87 neutral molecules and 21 ionic species from water to NPOE, and an equation for partition of 87 neutral molecules from the gas phase to NPOE. Comparison with equations for partition into other solvents shows that, as regards partition of neutral (nonelectrolyte) compounds, NPOE would be a good model for 1,2-dichloroethane and for nitrobenzene. In terms of partition of ions and ionic species, NPOE is quite similar to 1,2-dichloroethane and not far away from other aprotic solvents such as nitrobenzene.
