Editing Partition coefficient (section)

=== Example values ===
Values for log ''K''<sub>ow</sub> typically range between -3 (very hydrophilic) and +10 (extremely lipophilic/hydrophobic).<ref name="pmid31457869">{{cite journal | vauthors = Cumming H, Rücker C | title = Octanol-Water Partition Coefficient Measurement by a Simple <sup>1</sup>H NMR Method | journal = ACS Omega | volume = 2 | issue = 9 | pages = 6244–6249 | date = September 2017 | pmid = 31457869 | pmc = 6644330 | doi = 10.1021/acsomega.7b01102 }}</ref>
