A series of [Ni(dmit)2]- (dmit: 1,3-dithiole-2- thione-4,5-dithiolato) salts of alkyltrimethylammonium (Cn: n represents the alkyl chain length; n = 3 and 518) have been prepared and analyzed by X-ray structural analysis. All complex salts have been found to be composed of alternate sheets of [Ni(dmit)2]- anions and sheets of cations with a pronounced interdigitation of the alkyl chains. However, molecular arrangement differed between (C3)[Ni(dmit)2] and other (Cn)[Ni(dmit)2] (n = 518). Adjacent cations were aligned along the long axis of [Ni(dmit)2]- anion in C3 complex salt, while in others (C5-C18 complex salts), they were aligned toward the short axis. Such a difference in arrangement arose from correlativity between the lengths of the long axis of cation and anion, namely CLCA. Furthermore, relative orientation between the alkyl chain of cation and [Ni(dmit)2]- anion differed between the odd- and even-numbered cations for C10-C18. Whereas the plane of alkyl chain for odd-numbered cation was normal to the plane of [Ni(dmit)2]- anion, that of even-numbered cation was parallel. It was also found that C12 analog behaved like odd-numbered cations. However, in C12 salt, the end methyl group of the dodecyl group adopted unusual end-gauche conformation.

Quaternary ammonium salts were synthesized from ammonium salts and dialkyl carbonates over imidazolium ionic liquid catalysts. The reaction gave almost stoichiometric amounts of the quaternary ammonium salts for halides and nitrates. It was found that the electron-donating property of the alkyl moieties of ammonium cations, the electrophilic nature of the alkyl group of the carbonate, the acidity of the acid that the anion of the ammonium salt corresponds to, and the steric hindrance of the ammonium salts and the dialkyl carbonates are the key factors that influence the yields of quaternary ammonium salts. Strong electron-donating alkyl groups on the nitrogen atom of the ammonium salt, electron-withdrawing groups on the methylene carbon of dialkyl carbonate, and weaker steric hindrance of the starting ammonium salts and dialkyl carbonates favor the alkylation reaction of ammonium salts.
Solubilization of some Tetramethylammonium Salts and of Ethyltrimethylammonium Bromide by their Homologues in Chloroform

The solubilities of tetramethylammonium chloride, bromide, thiocyanate and perchlorate and of ethyltrimethylammonium bromide in chloroform at 25 +/- 0.2 deg C have been determined.The solubilities of these salts increase markedly in the presence of a variety of higher homologues of common co-ions.It is suggested that this phenomenon involves the cooperative formation of reversed micelles.
