Chemical Property Profile of Tetrachlorophthalic anhydride
Property Insights of Tetrachlorophthalic anhydride
The XLogP value of 3.8 indicates that Tetrachlorophthalic anhydride is lipophilic (fat-soluble), which may influence its absorption, distribution, and formulation strategy. With a topological polar surface area (TPSA) of 43.4 Ų, Tetrachlorophthalic anhydride exhibits relatively low polarity, potentially indicating favorable cell membrane permeability. Following Lipinski's Rule of Five, Tetrachlorophthalic anhydride has 0 hydrogen bond donor(s) and 3 hydrogen bond acceptor(s), all within the drug-like range, suggesting favorable oral bioavailability potential.
