"q-value" and "C#"

On many of the quat pages, you will see references to "q-value" and "C#". These are useful parameters for correlating reactivity and selectivity in PTC systems. The q-value was proposed by Marc Halpern (PTC Organics) in 1988 and reflects the accessibility of the positive charge of a quat. A q-value of 1.0 to 2.0 often gives high reactivity for "transfer rate limited" PTC reactions whereas a q-value of < 1 often gives high reactivity for PTC reactions which require a loose ion pair. The q-value is calculated by adding the reciprocals of the numbers of carbons on each of the 4 chains.  C# is simply the sum of all of the carbons of the quat and is a measure of the organophilicity of the quat.
