In the title mol-ecular salt, (C(6)H(16)N)(2)[CuCl(4)], the Cu(II) ion adopts an extremely distorted tetra-hedral coordination geometry. All the ammonium H atoms are involved in N-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds, which serve to link the cations and anions into chains propagating along the c-axis direction.

The properties of aqueous ammonium salt solutions at the air/water surface are presented. By comparison of the properties of ammonium halides solutions with those of sodium halide, we note a close similarity, which indicates that the increments in surface tension may be explained in relation to the hydration enthalpy of anions. We find that the behaviors of the salts with nitrate anions which a...

The highly efficient and selective production of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) from sucrose has been achieved in the presence of metal chlorides and ammonium halides under mild conditions. Notably, an 87% yield of HMF from sucrose was obtained with a catalyst system composed of CrCl(3) and NH(4)Br at 100°C for 1.0 h in N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMAc) solvent. The effect of the reaction temperature...

The ionic nucleophilic character of ammonium betaine catalysts allows for controlling the ROP of L-LA for DP as high as 750 with very narrow dispersity values (≤1.18). Compared to ionic nucleophilic and hydrogen-bonding based catalysts for ROP, meta-betaine combines the positive aspects of both processes in terms of kinetics and selectivity. The versatility of ammonium betaines was evidenced by...

The formation of the hydrogel poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)-clay (LAPONITE®) by redox polymerization was investigated, and the main factors governing the gel build-up were determined. The significant effect of the redox initiating system ammonium peroxodisulfate (APS) and tetramethylethylenediamine (TEMED) on gel formation and structure was established, making it possible to control the structure...

In order to better characterize changes in water structure induced by a hydrophobic solute the oxygen-oxygen and hydrogen-hydrogen radial distribution functions (goo(r), ghh(r)) and the hydrogen bond angle distribution function p(theta) for water molecules in the first hydration shell of the tetramethyl ammonium (TMA) cation were computed using Monte Carlo simulations. goo(r) and ghh(r) were co...

The objective of this study is to reduce the production cost of cellulase by optimizing the production medium and using an alternative carbon source such as agricultural solid waste residue. Present studies describe the optimization of process parameters for the production of cellulases by different fungal species. The fermentation experiments were carried out in shake flasks. Maximum productio...

In the crystal structure of the title compound, C(8)H(12)N(+)·Cl(-), all H atoms bonded to the ammonium N atom are hydrogen bonded to the chloride ions, with N⋯Cl distances in the range 3.080 (2)-3.136 (2) Å, resulting in 16-membered macrocyclic rings involving four formula units of the title compound.

Cationic amphiphilic diblock copolymers were synthesized by RAFT polymerization and the nanostructure of their monolayers was investigated by π-A isotherm and X-ray reflectivity. Carpet layer (dense hydrophilic block layer) formation under the hydrophobic layer was confirmed and a “brush” layer was found beneath the carpet layer. However, the thickness of brush layer was much thinner than that ...
