Abstract
n-octanol/water and n-octanol/air partition coefficients were calculated for 75 chloronaphthalenes (CNs) by means of quantitative structure-property relationship (QSPR) strategy to fill significant lacks in the empirical data. The QSPR models based on quantum-chemical descriptors computed on the level of density functional theory using B3LYP functional and 6-311++G** basis set. For each property, six models were identified using chemometric approaches such as: multiple regression method, principal component regression, partial least square regression, partial least square regression with initial elimination of the uninformative variables, partial least square regression with variable selection by a genetic algorithm (GA-PLS), and neural networks with variable selection by a genetic algorithm (GA-NN). They were calibrated and validated using the experimentally measured values of logKOW available for 16 congeners and the values of logKOA existing for 43 congeners. The models were compared regarding to their...
