Molecular Aggregation of Alkyltrimethylammonium Bromide and Alcohol in the Solid-State
Alkyltrimethylammonium bromide C(n)H(2n+1)N(+)Me(3)Br(-) (1, n = 10, 12, 14, 16 and 18) and primary alcohol CmH2m+1OH (2, m = 8-18) were found to form 1:1 crystalline complexes which show clear melting points. Separation of primary alcohol from a mixture with secondary alcohol was achieved very efficiently by complexation with ammonium salts.
