Linear free energy relationships, LFERs, have been constructed for water-triolein partition coefficients for neutral species. It is shown that separate equations are required for wet and dry triolein. From a comparison of the equation coefficients for water-wet triolein with those for 52 other water-solvent systems it is shown that there is little correspondence between triolein and any of the 52 other solvents - only the water-isopropyl myristate system is close to the water-wet triolen system. A comparison of equation coefficients for the water-wet triolein system with LFER coefficients of 16 environmentally important processes shows that wet triolein is not a suitable model for any of the processes, although a number of other water-solvent systems are possible models for some of the environmental processes. A comparison of LFER coefficients with those of 17 aqueous toxicological processes reveals that most of the water-solvent systems, including water-wet triolein, will be poor models for any of the toxicological systems, but the water-lower alcohol systems show promise as models for a number of the toxicological systems. Our method of comparison of coefficients for LFERs that have exactly the same independent variables can be extended to various other types of system.
