QUAT CARBONATE

Quat carbonate cations, also known as quats, are positively charged polyatomic ions of the structure, R being an alkyl group or an aryl group. 

Unlike the Quat carbonate and the primary, secondary, or tertiary Quat carbonate, the quaternary ammonium cations are permanently charged, independent of the pH of their solution. 

Quat carbonate salts are salts of quaternary ammonium cations. 
Quat carbonates are a variety of engineered polymer forms which provide multiple quat molecules within a larger molecule.

 

DESCRIPTION OF QUAT CARBONATE:

Typically known as Quat carbonate

-Many individual chemicals

-Present in thousands of end-use formulations, many of which are blends of various Quats

-Common uses include disinfectants, surfactants, fabric softeners, antistatic agents, and wood preservation


APPLICATION OF QUAT CARBONATE:

Quat carbonates are used as disinfectants, surfactants, fabric softeners, and as antistatic agents (e.g. in shampoos). 
In liquid fabric softeners, the Quat carbonate salts are often used. 

In dryer anticling strips, the Quat carbonate salts are often used. 
Older Quat carbonate electrolytic capacitors and spermicidal jellies also contain quaternary ammonium salts.

 

HOW DOES QUAT CARBONATE WORK:

-Quat carbonate has a strong positive charge

-Bacteria have a negative charge

-Quat carbonate will attach to the bacteria and cause the cytoplasmic membrane to leak, damaging and eventually killing the bacteria.

 

PREPARATION OF QUAT CARBONATE:

Preparation of Quat carbonate compounds from various tertiary amines and the (environmentally friendly) alkylating agent dimethyl carbonate (DMC) under conditions within the bounds of industrial production has been carried out.

 

REACTION OF QUAT CARBONATE:

Quat carbonates are unreactive toward even strong electrophiles, oxidants, and acids. 
Quat carbonates also are stable toward most nucleophiles. 

The latter is indicated by the stability of the hydroxide salts such as tetramethylammonium hydroxide and tetrabutylammonium hydroxide even at elevated temperatures. 
The halflife of Quat carbonate in 6M NaOH at 160 °C is >61 h.

Because of their resilience, many unusual anions have been isolated as the quaternary ammonium salts. 
Examples include Quat carbonate, containing the highly reactive Quat carbonate. 

Permanganate can be solubilized in organic solvents, when deployed as its salt.
With exceptionally strong bases, quat cations degrade. 
Quat carbonates containing can also undergo the Hofmann elimination and Emde degradation.
