Solubilization of some tetramethylammonium salts and of ethyltrimethylammonium bromide by their homologues in chloroform

Abstract

The solubilities of tetramethylammonium chloride, bromide, thiocyanate and perchlorate and of ethyltrimethylammonium bromide in chloroform at 25 ± 0.2 °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.
