An organic salt of the present disclosure contains terephthalic acid and at least one kind of primary alkylamine. An alkyl group constituting the primary alkylamine has 6 or more and 17 or less carbon atoms. The organic salt of the present disclosure can be used to detect a hydroxy radical contained in a gas, for example. The present disclosure provides: an organic salt that makes it possible to detect a hydroxy radical more easily as well as to detect a hydroxy radical generated in a living body; and a hydroxy-radical sensor adopting the organic salt.

The complex crystal of the present disclosure is a complex crystal having a structure in which supramolecular units each composed of two or more types of molecules are arrayed. Each of the supramolecular units contains a cyanoacrylic acid derivative and a trisubstituted methylamine as the molecules. The complex crystal has, between the supramolecular units, molecular cavities in each of which a guest molecule for which the supramolecular unit is a host is not disposed. The complex crystal of the present disclosure can have a property of incorporating a chemical substance therein and can exhibit a great change in a characteristic when incorporating the chemical substance therein.
