We note that we have not been able to observe surfactant action of the alkylamine molecule in the chloroform/methanol solvent, i.e., no lowering of the solvent surface tension compared to that of the pure solvent was observed when alkylamine molecules were dissolved at a concentration of 1.5%, v/v in chloroform/methanol.
