Abstract
- The crystal structure of trimethylammonio n-hexadecylsulfonamidate contains antiparallel monolayers stabilized by strong C−H···O bonds (C···O 3.22 A). There are also significant C−H···X (X = N, O) bonds linking adjacent layers. The structure suggests that nitrogen ylides have potential as amphoteric surfactants. The crystallography of paraffinic monolayers is discussed and the crystal structures of n-C16H33X compounds are shown to belong to three distinct types.
