A styrylpyridinium salt in aqueous solution: unusual solution behaviour

Abstract

The results of a series of physico-chemical experiments are presented which show that 4-(4-formylphenylethenyl)-1- methylpyridinium methanesulfonate, one example of a styrylpyridinium salt, undergoes a micellar type aggregation as a function of concentration in aqueous solution.
