Description

Triethylphenylammonium Iodide is a hydrogenated sodium salt of the fatty acid, phenyl-3-ethoxypropanoic acid. It is used as a solid catalyst for the polymerization of vinyl chloride monomer and has been shown to be an effective treatment for tissue infection. The mechanism of action of triethylphenylammonium iodide is not well understood but it is thought to involve adsorption onto the surface of bacteria. This may be due to its hydroxyl group, which can form hydrogen bonds with water molecules on the bacterial cell wall. Triethylphenylammonium iodide also has a carbonic group that can react with CO2 in the air, leading to dissolution in water.
