The Krafft and melting points of n-alkylammonium and α, ω-alkanediammonium 1-alkanesulfonates were measured by the change of transmittance and the dependence of conductivity on temperature under the coexistance of its solid, respectively. Melting points for these surfactans showed the odd-even changes by the change of carbon chain lengths in their counter cations. The Krafft points for the α, ω-alkanediammonium salts also showed the odd-even changes. The Krafft points for the n-alkylammonium salts did not show clearly the odd-even changes when the carbon number of the counter cation was less than 4 but showed the changes when the carbon number was more than 4. The odd-even changes for their heats of dissolution were obtained by an analogy from the dependence of the conductivities of their saturated solution on temperature. Their odd-even changes were similar to those of Krafft points.
