Partition coefficients by curve fitting: the use of two different octanol volumes in a dual-phase potentiometric titration

J Pharm Sci. 1996 Feb;85(2):178-83. doi: 10.1021/js950230p.

Abstract

It is shown that when two different volumes of the second phase are employed in a single dual-phase potentiometric titration, the partition coefficients of the most highly ionized species can be readily calculated by refinement of the parameters for the dual-purpose titration equations. Graphical comparison of the calculated titration curve with that obtained experimentally is helpful in making initial estimates of the parameters.
