1-methyl-2-[2-(trimethylammonio)ethyl]pyridinium diiodide

Description:

1-Methyl-2-[2-(trimethylammonio)ethyl]pyridinium diiodide is a quaternary ammonium compound characterized by its pyridinium structure, which includes a methyl group and a trimethylammonioethyl substituent. This compound is typically a white or off-white solid at room temperature and is soluble in water due to the presence of the quaternary ammonium group, which enhances its ionic character. It exhibits properties typical of ionic compounds, such as high melting and boiling points compared to non-ionic organic compounds. The diiodide counterions contribute to its solubility and stability in aqueous solutions. This substance is often used in various applications, including as a surfactant, in biological studies, and in the synthesis of other chemical compounds. Its quaternary ammonium nature imparts antimicrobial properties, making it of interest in pharmaceutical and biocidal applications. Safety data should be consulted for handling, as quaternary ammonium compounds can be irritants and may pose environmental risks.
