  2. Hydrophobicity scales - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrophobicity_scales

    The absolute values and relative rankings of hydrophobicity determined by chromatographic methods can be affected by a number of parameters. These parameters include the silica surface area and pore diameter, the choice and pH of aqueous buffer, temperature and the bonding density of stationary phase chains. [3]

  3. Partition coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partition_coefficient

    [10]: 275ff When one of the solvents is water and the other is a non-polar solvent, then the log P value is a measure of lipophilicity or hydrophobicity. [ 10 ] : 275ff [ 11 ] : 6 The defined precedent is for the lipophilic and hydrophilic phase types to always be in the numerator and denominator respectively; for example, in a biphasic system ...

  4. List of physical constants - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_physical_constants

    The constants listed here are known values of physical constants expressed in SI units; that is, physical quantities that are generally believed to be universal in nature and thus are independent of the unit system in which they are measured. Many of these are redundant, in the sense that they obey a known relationship with other physical ...

  5. Octanol-water partition coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octanol-water_partition...

    If different species occur in the octanol-water system by dissociation or association, several P-values and one D-value exist for the system. If, on the other hand, the substance is only present in a single species, the P and D values are identical. P is usually expressed as a common logarithm, i.e. Log P (also Log P ow or, less frequently, Log ...

  6. Contact angle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contact_angle

    Cloth, treated to be hydrophobic, shows a high contact angle. The theoretical description of contact angle arises from the consideration of a thermodynamic equilibrium between the three phases: the liquid phase (L), the solid phase (S), and the gas or vapor phase (G) (which could be a mixture of ambient atmosphere and an equilibrium concentration of the liquid vapor).

  7. Hydrophobe - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrophobe

    In chemistry, hydrophobicity is the chemical property of a molecule (called a hydrophobe) that is seemingly repelled from a mass of water. [1] In contrast, hydrophiles are attracted to water. Hydrophobic molecules tend to be nonpolar and, thus, prefer other neutral molecules and nonpolar solvents .

  8. Craig plot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Craig_plot

    The Craig plot, named after Paul N. Craig, is a plot of two substituent parameters (e.g. Hansch-Fujita π constant and sigma constant) used in rational drug design. [1] Two most used forms of a Craig plot are plotting the sigma constants of the Hammett equation versus hydrophobicity; plotting the steric terms of the Taft equation against ...

  9. Hammett equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hammett_equation

    The reaction constant, or sensitivity constant, ρ, describes the susceptibility of the reaction to substituents, compared to the ionization of benzoic acid. It is equivalent to the slope of the Hammett plot. Information on the reaction and the associated mechanism can be obtained based on the value obtained for ρ. If the value of:
