Physicochemical properties of the employed organic solvents.

Organic Solvent	Molecular Weight (Da)	Density (g/mL)	Boiling Point (°C)	Log p
n-Dodecane	170	0.75	216	6.6
n-Hexadecane	226	0.89	287	8.8
1-Hexadecene	224	0.78	285	none
Liquid paraffin	150–250	0.83–0.86	185–250	none
Dibutyl phthalate	278	1.05	340	5.4
Butyl oleate	339	0.88	227–228	9.8
Oleic acid	282	0.89	360	7.7

Note: log p was the logarithm of partition coefficient of the organic solvent in octanol/water. Liquid paraffin is a mixture of C₁₆–C₂₀ alkanes.
