Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
Air-water partition coefficents were measured by saturating a portion of water by a stream of nitrogen containing a known vapour concentration of (1). After equilibration, the dissolved (1) was absorbed in a porous polymer trap and the entrapped (1) analysed by gas chromatography. The method and apparatus are described in detail in ref 1.

(a) Solubility values were calculated by the authors from their smoothed air-water partition coefficient (KAM) by assuming KAM values obtained at infinite dilution were valid at the saturation pressure of (1).
