Summary The new phase ratio variation method is described which represents a convenient way for the determination of gas-liquid partition coefficients for practical purposes, utilizing equilibrium headspace-gas chromatography (EHS-GC). This method is based on the relationship between reciprocal peak area and the phase ratio in the vial containing the sample solution; it involves regression analysis of the EHS-GC measurements of a number of sample vials containing the same sample solution but with a wide variation of phase ratios. Examples are given for both aqueous systems and systems consisting of a stationary (liquid) phase used as the solvent; comparison of the measured values with results obtained by other methods shows satisfactory agreement. A critical discussion of the conditions influencing the accuracy of the analytical results is given.
