General description
Tributylhexadecylphosphonium bromide (Tri-n-butylhexadecylphosphonium Bromid) has a long hydrocarbon chain attached to the phosphorus atom. It is commonly used as a phase-transfer catalyst in various chemical reactions. In addition, it is also used as a cationic surfactant.
Application
Tributylhexadecylphosphonium bromide can be used as a phase transfer catalyst in the alkaline hydrolysis of PET (polyethylene terephthalate).

Historical monuments are increasingly being threatened by unexpected microbial colonizers, leading to their subsequent deterioration. Here, two tetraalkylphosphonium polyoxometalate ionic liquids (Q14-IL and Q16-IL) were successfully synthesized, which showed excellent antibacterial activity against four bacteria colonising wall paintings. Notably, Q14-IL
