Randomized trial evaluates log P calculations in alkanes and gases, suggesting improved accuracy.

The aim is to enhance the reliability of log P value calculations using substituents and fragment values.
Analyzed new log P values for lower alkanes and inert gases.
Separated hydrophobic effects based on volume, branching, flexibility, and polarity.
Used modified fragment values for broader structural applicability.
Discovered that reliability of log P calculations increases with available parent solute data.
Identified that certain substituents do not adversely affect calculated values when properly accounted for.
Demonstrated that the use of fragment-based approaches provides better estimates for uncertain structures.

Leo et al. (1975) studied this question.
