Quaternary ammonium cation. The R groups may be the same or different alkyl or aryl groups. Also, the R groups may be connected. In organic chemistry, quaternary ammonium cations, also known as quats, are positively-charged polyatomic ions of the structure [NR 4] +, where R is an alkyl group, an aryl group [1] or organyl group.
It is a quaternary ammonium salt, consisting of choline cations ([(CH 3) 3 NCH 2 CH 2 OH] +) and chloride anions (Cl −). It is a bifunctional compound, meaning, it contains both a quaternary ammonium functional group and a hydroxyl functional group. The cation of this salt, choline, occurs in nature in living beings.

Diseases can be avoided with proper maintenance of the feed and feeder. A feeder is the device that supplies the feed to the poultry. [8] For privately raised chickens, or chickens as pets, feed can be delivered through jar, trough or tube feeders. The use of poultry feed can also be supplemented with food found through foraging.

Tetramethylammonium (TMA) is the simplest quaternary ammonium cation. It has the chemical formula [Me 4 N] + and consists of four methyl groups (−CH 3, denoted Me) attached to a central nitrogen atom. The cation is isoelectronic with neopentane (Me 4 C). It is positively-charged and can only be isolated in association with a counter-ion.
Choline is a quaternary ammonium cation.The cholines are a family of water-soluble quaternary ammonium compounds. [2] Choline is the parent compound of the cholines class, consisting of ethanolamine residue having three methyl groups attached to the same nitrogen atom.
It is an organic salt classified as a quaternary ammonium compound. ADBACs have three main categories of use: as a biocide , a cationic surfactant , and a phase transfer agent . [ 1 ] ADBACs are a mixture of alkylbenzyldimethylammonium chlorides, in which the alkyl group has various even-numbered alkyl chain lengths.
Aliquat 336 is used as a phase transfer catalyst, [2] including in the catalytic oxidation of cyclohexene to 1,6-hexanedioic acid. [3] This reaction is an example of green chemistry, as it is more environmentally friendly than the traditional method of oxidizing cyclohexanol or cyclohexanone with nitric acid or potassium permanganate, which produce hazardous wastes.
Tetramethylammonium chloride is one of the simplest quaternary ammonium salts, with four methyl groups tetrahedrally attached to the central N. The chemical formula (CH 3) 4 N + Cl − is often abbreviated further as Me 4 N + Cl −. It is a hygroscopic colourless solid that is soluble in water and polar organic solvents.
