General Description

Tributylmethylammonium bromide is a quaternary ammonium salt with the chemical formula C16H36BrN. It is a white crystalline powder that is soluble in polar solvents such as water and alcohols, and it is commonly used as a phase-transfer catalyst in organic synthesis. It has the ability to facilitate the transfer of ions between immiscible phases, and it is often used in reactions involving nucleophilic substitution, alkylation, and deprotonation. Additionally, tributylmethylammonium bromide has been studied for its potential applications in electrochemical and biological systems due to its surfactant properties and low toxicity. Overall, this chemical plays a valuable role in various chemical and biochemical processes, making it a versatile and important compound in the field of chemistry and beyond.

Physical and electrochemical properties of room-temperature dicyanamide ionic liquids based on quaternary phosphonium cations

The physicochemical and electrochemical properties of room temperature ionic liquids based on quaternary phosphonium cations together with a dicyanamide anion are presented in this report. The most dicyanamide-based phosphonium ionic liquids prepared were hydrophilic, except ionic liquids containing a long alkyl chain in the phosohonium cation. It was found that asymmetric phosphonium cations gave low-melting salts in combination with a dicyanamide anion. The dicyanamide-based phosphonium ionic liquids exhibited relatively low viscosities and high conductivities when compared to those of the corresponding ammonium ionic liquids. Particularly, the ionic liquids containing a methoxy group in the phosphonium cations indicated very low viscosities. Comparatively good electrochemical stability of the dicyanamide-based phosphonium ionic liquids was confirmed by voltammetric measurements. The thermogravimetric analysis suggested that the dicyanamide-based phosphonium ionic liquids showed higher thermal stability than those of the corresponding ammonium ionic liquids, indicating an improving effect of the phosphonium cations on the thermal stability.
