Abstract: A variety of polyammonium and polyphosphonium organic salts have been prepared. This work has involved the synthesis and investigations of these polycationic species based on several structural categories including "strings," "rings," cyclodextrin derivatives, DMAP, pyridine, and imidazolium derivatives. It has been demonstrated that several applications for these newly prepared materials exist. These include their capabilities as antibacterials, their use as antihydrophobic agents, their interaction with DNA, host/guest binding capabilities with a variety of biologically significant organic anions, as well as their conversion to ionic liquids. Most recently, work has been directed toward the preparation of a new category of ionic liquids--- Liquid Ionic Phosphates, referred to as LIPs. These materials are particularly intriguing and have potential applications for batteries, non-aqueous polar reaction media, "green" extractive processes, and as catalysts.
