 In this paper properties of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) complexes with originally proposed cationic surfactants are described. Properties of prepared complexes were studied with the help of UV-vis-NIR and FT-IR spectroscopies, TGA and DSC analysis and X-ray diffractometry. These complexes are intended for future applications in organic electronics.
