The partition coefficient in the 1‐octanol/water system, log  P (O/W), is a measure of lipophilicity. It is used as a predictor of solute–membrane partitioning. The objective of this study was to measure the log  P (O/W) of five hydroxamic acids. Other molecular descriptors of these solutes, namely molar volume, molar refraction, parachor, polarizability ( π *), hydrogen‐bond donor acidity ( ɛ α ) and hydrogen‐bond acceptor basicity ( ɛ β ), have also been discussed. These properties represent the combined effects of a number of intermolecular forces between a solute and its environment.
