Organophosphate esters (OPEs) raise growing environmental and human health concerns globally. However, numerous novel OPEs lack data on physicochemical properties, which are essential for assessing environmental fate, exposure, and risks. This study predicted water solubility (Sw), vapor pressure (Vp), octanol-water partition coefficient (Kow), and octano ...
