Partitioning coefficients into differing acyclic aliphatic alcohols can be described by the linear solvation energy relationship (LSER) equations with 6 fitting parameters to the accuracy of 0.19-0.20 log units. If 6 more fitting parameters are added to account for the slight dependency of the partitioning coefficients on the number of carbon atoms of alcohols, the accuracy improves to 0.15-0.16, comparable to the performance by the 30-parameter model proposed by Sprunger et al.
