Hi,

Are there any basic introductory articles which describe water/octanol
partition coefficients?

>From what little I have read, it seems they are a popular measure of
hydrophilicity of a compound and
are also popular in structure-activity studies since a large number of them
databased by the folks
at Pomona.

Mainly I'm interested in knowing how to do the experiments to measurw logP.
Are the experiments  involved? Any applications/examples for metal
complexes would be most interesting.

Thanks, in advance, for any help.
