Synthesis and Characterization of 3-Aminopropylammonium Hydrogensulfate as a Nano Aliphatic Quaternary Ammonium Salt

Aliphatic quaternary ammonium (AQA) salts have received significant interest because oftheir special properties. They have wide applications in various fields such as electrochemicaltechnologies, catalysis and chemical separations [1,2]. Nanotechnology is emerging as a cuttingedge technology interdisciplinary with biology, chemistry and material science [3].In this work, we have synthesized 3-aminopropylammonium hydrogensulphate [(APA)(HS)]as a novel nano organosalt from readily available starting materials and characterized by varioustechniques (Fig. 1). The results of 1H NMR, FT-IR and elemental analysis was indicatedthat [(APA)(HS)] was successfully synthesized. The TG analysis of [(APA)(HS)] was showedthat the synthesized organosalt have high thermal stability up to 294 ºC. According to the resultsof SEM and TEM were found that [(APA)(HS)] has a unique spherical morphology withgood monodispersity. The particle size distribution of [(APA)(HS)] was evaluated using XRD(11.1-19.3 nm), TEM (6-20 nm) and AFM (15> nm).
