Abstract
In recent years, the ultrasonic measurements have gained a lot of importance which is being intensively used in the field of agriculture, medical science engineering and industries. Such types of studies being used for the investigation of different chemical processes, play vital roles in the field of synthetic works [1]. The density and viscosity of tetra-n-butylammonium bromide is useful in elucidating the nature of ion-solvent interaction in aqueous and non-aqueous solutions [2]. Tetra alkylammonium salts are one of the important classes of organic compounds which are used as phase transfer catalyst [3]. As they contain both hydrophilic and hydrophobic groups their solution behaviour is very much attractive. Tetran-butylammonium bromide is commonly used as a phase transfer catalyst which is used in various C-C, C-N, C-O, C-S and C-P bond forming reactions which are carried out by liquid-liquid and liquid-solid conditions [4]. Tetra-n-butylammonium bromide is used to synthesize different tetrabutylammonium salts through salt metathesis. When it is dissolved in aqueous solutions of 1,3-dioxolane (1,3-DO) and 2,2-dimethoxypropane (DMP), it affects the geometrical nature of water molecules. Thus a clathrate like structure is formed between water molecules and ammonium ions of tetra-n-butylammonium bromide [5]. These ions do not form any hydrogen bond but contain hydrophilic and hydrophobic groups.
