Nitrated and oxygenated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (NPAHs and OPAHs) are receiving attention because of their high toxicity compared with parent PAHs. However, the experimental data of their physicochemical properties has been limited. This study proposed the gas chromatographic retention time (GC-RT) technique as an effective alternative one to determine octanol-air partition coefficients (K OA) and sub-cooled liquid vapor pressures (P L) for 11 NPAHs, 10 OPAHs, and 19 parent PAHs. The slopes and intercepts of the linear regressions between temperature versus K OA and P L were provided and can be used to estimate K OA and P L for the 40 targeted compounds at any temperature. The internal energies of phase transfer (Δ U OA) and enthalpies of vaporization (Δ H L) for all targeted compounds were also calculated using the GC-RT technique. High-molecular-weight compounds may release or absorb higher heat energy to transform between different phases. NPAHs and OPAHs had a non-ideal solution behavior with activity in octanol (γ oct) in the range of 19–53 and 18–1,078, respectively, which is larger than the unity threshold. A comparison among four groups of PAH derivatives showed that a functional group (nitro-, oxygen-, chloro-, and bromo-) in PAH derivatives increased γ oct for corresponding parent PAHs by tens (mono-group) to hundreds of times (di-group). This study suggests that the GC-RT method is applicable for indirectly measuring the physicochemical properties of various groups of organic compounds. [Display omitted] • The GC-RT technique was applied to determine K OA and P L for 11 NPAHs and 10 OPAHs. • Applicability of the GC-RT method was verified with various alternative techniques. • High-molecular-weight or di-functional-group compounds had higher K OA and lower P L. • High activity in octanol (γ oct) shows that N/OPAHs had a non-ideal solution behavior. • Attachment of diverse functional groups increased γ oct for corresponding parent PAHs.
