Abstract:
The adsorption data of the pesticides have been correlated with several molecular parameters. The most significant relation was obtained with a multilinear combination of the hydrophobicity constant π and the Hildebrand's constant δ which is influenced by the molecular interactions properties of the aromatic ring of the solutes.
