“…The authors have so far proved the stable occurrence of these complexes firmly on the basis of X-ray crystallography (4), and now have established that the complexes are categorized in a group of novel substances which have simultaneous characteristics of novel surfactants, showing cmc's and the Krafft points different from those of their mother species (5,6). Especially cationic surfactants such as quaternary ammonium and pyridinium salts afford these complexes from aqueous media with varied phenolics, aromatic basic substances, and even nonpolar substances such as biphenyl and phenanthrene (1,2).…”
