Description

Tetradecylammonium bromide is a crystalline compound that has been shown to have many applications. It can be used as a denitrification agent, for example, in the removal of nitrates from water or air. Tetradecylammonium bromide also has synergistic effects when combined with other molecules such as fatty acids and human urine. Its crystalline structure consists of two subunits that are linked by hydrogen bonding. The α-subunit is made up of four tetradecylammonium cations and one chloride anion, while the β-subunit is made up of six chloride anions and one tetradecylammonium cation.
