The structural parameters were obtained and significant correlation between the C1 substitution position and some structural parameters was found. Consequently, the number of C1 substitution positions was taken as theoretical descriptors to establish two novel QSPR models for predicting lgKow and -lgSw of all PCDD congeners. The two models achieved in this work contain two variables （Na and Nβ）, of which r = 0.9312, 0.9965 and SD = 0.27, 0.12 respectively, and t values are all large. The variation inflation factors （VIF） of variables in the two models herein are both less than 5.0, suggesting high accuracy of the lgKow and -lgSw predicting models, and the results of cross-validation test also show that the two models exhibit optimum stability and good predictive power. By comparison, the correlation and predictive ability of the present work are more advantageous than those obtained using semi-empirical AM1 and GC-RI methods.展开更多

Based on the theoretical linear solvation energy relationship （TLSER） model, the obtained parameters were taken as theoretical descriptors to establish the novel QSPR model for predicting n-octanol/water partition coefficients （lgKow） of OPs. The new model achieved in this work contains three variables, i.e., molecular volume （Vm）, dipole moment of the molecules （μ） and enthalpy （H^0）. For this model, R^2 = 0.9167 and SD = 0.31 at large t values. In addition, the variation inflation factors （VIF） of variables are all close to 1.0, suggesting high accuracy of the predicting model. And the results of cross-validation test （q^2 = 0.8993） and method validation also showed the model of this study exhibited optimum stability and better predictive power than that from semi-empirical method. The model achieved can be used to predict IgKow of congeneric compounds.展开更多

The geometrical optimization of substituted anilines has been performed at B3LYP/6-311G^＊＊ level with Gaussian98 program, and the molecular surface areas of substituted anilines were calculated using ChemOffice 2004 program. The calculated structural parameters of substituted anilines were used as theoretical descriptors and the two-parameter （molecular surface area （MA） and the energy of the highest occupied molecular orbital （EaoMo）） quantitative structure-property relationship （QSPR） model of lgKow for substituted aniline with molecular structural parameters was developed by multi-linear regression method. The regression coefficient square （r^2） is 0.990 and the standard deviation SE 0.109. The model was validated by variance inflation factors （VIF） and t-test, and the results show that there exists small self-correlation between variables of the model with perfect stability. The model gives results in good qualitative agreement with experimental data. At last, the model was applied to predict lgKow values of five substituted anilines whose lgKow values have not been determined experimentally.展开更多

With GQSARF2.0 program, the correlation equations that can predict n-octanol/water partition coefficient （lgKow） were developed using the structural and thermodynamic parameters of 28 alkyl（1-phenylsulfonyl） cycloalkane-carboxylates with experimental data of lgKow as theoretical descriptors; the correlation coefficient （R^2） was 0.9452 and the cross-validation squared correlation coefficient （Rcv^2） 0.9312. Furthermore, a four-variable model from MEDV was obtained, of which R2 = 0.9497 and Rov^2 =0.9388. The models were validated by variance inflation factor （VIF） and t-test. Cross-validation indicates that the correlation and predicting ability of the model based on both DFT method and MEDV are more advantageous than those obtained from semi-empirical AM1 method.展开更多

The source of VOC in the subsurface may come from accidental or intentional releases, leaking landfills or leaking underground and above-ground storage tanks. Once these contaminants are present near or beneath buildings, they may move as a vapour through soil gas and enter the building. A large number of vapour intrusion (VI) algorithms have been published in peer-reviewed publications that link indoor VOC concentrations to the contamination of soils. These models typically include phase partitioning calculations of VOC based on Henry’s law to estimate the concentration of a particular contaminant in soil gas. This paper presents the results from a series of laboratory experiments concerning the use of the Henry’s Law constant for the calculation of toluene concentrations in equilibrium between ground water and soil air. A series of column experiments were conducted with various toluene concentrations in artificial (ground) water to contrast the predicted and observed (soil) air concentrations. The experiments which exclude soil material show a toluene fugacity behaviour roughly in line with Henry’s law whereas the experiments which include soil material result in equilibrium soil concentrations which were around one order-of-magnitude lower than was expected from a Henry Law-based estimation. It is concluded that for toluene inclusion of Henry’s Law in VI algorithms does not provide an adequate description of volatilisation in soils and may lead to an overestimation of health risk. Instead, a model based on a simple description of the relevant intermolecular interactions could be explored.展开更多

Based on the theoretical linear solvation energy relationship （TLSER） model, the obtained structural parameters were taken as theoretical descriptors to establish the novel quantitative structureproperty relationship （QSPR） model for predicting n-octanol/water partition coefficients （lgKow） of PCDFs. The new model of lgKow achieved in this work contains three variables： energy of the highest occupied molecular orbital （EHOMO）, the most negative atomic partial charge （q^-） and average molecular polarizability （a）, of which R^2= 0.9011 and SD = 0,17 with larger t values. In addition, the variation inflation factors （VIF） of variables in the present model are all less than 5.5, suggesting high accuracy of the lgKow model. And the results of cross-validation test （q^2 = 0.8688） and method validation also show this model exhibits optimum stability and better predictive power than semi-empirical method. At the same time, it is found that the aqueous solubility （-lgSw） has high relative correlation with constant volume molar heat capacity （Cv^0）, of which R^2 = 0.9777 and SD = 0.22. Moreover, lgKow and -lgSw values of all PCDF congeners were predicted respectively.展开更多
