I assume that you would promote solubility in the organic phase as you decrease the solubility in the aqueous phase, but I haven't found this explicitly stated anywhere. Can anyone point me to a reference?

Can anyone point me to a reference? The partition coefficients and distribution coefficient (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partition_coefficient#Partition_coefficient_and_log_P)will change if the solubility of the substance in either solvent changes.
