Abstract
Abstract Novel bactericidal water-soluble complexes comprising a quaternary ammonium salt and a tricyclic, cage-type heterocycle containing four nitrogen atoms in molar ratios of 1:4 and 3:2 which are effective against both gram negative and gram positive bacteria, fungi, molds, and algae and to a novel method of killing same and novel pesticidal compositions.
