It has been shown for the first time that aqueous solutions of quaternary phosphonium salts (cetyltributylphosphonium bromide, cetyltriphenylphosphonium bromide) in the range of 1x10(-2)-1x10(-18)mol/L are disperse systems. The nature of the disperse phase changes as the solution is diluted, starting from micelles (1x10(-4)-1x10(-2)mol/L), translating into molecule-water domains (1x10(-6)-1x10(-4)mol/L) and nanoassociates (1x10(-18)-1x10(-6)mol/L). The effect that these compounds' solutions have on the growth and development of hydrobionts (infusoria Paramecium caudatum and single-celled algae Chlorella vulgaris) in the low concentrations range has been studied for the first time. It was found that at a concentration less than 1x10(-6)mol/L the nonmonotonic concentration dependences of the physicochemical properties and bioeffects of the systems are related to the formation and rearrangement of nanoassociates.
