Abstract

where Y is a polystyrenic scaffold or polyacrylic scaffold; Y1 is -H or the same or a different polystyrenic scaffold or polyacrylic scaffold as Y; R1, R2, R3, and R4 are independently a substituted or unsubstituted compound having a functionality of alkyl, alkylene, alkyne, alkenyl, alkynyl, aryl, alkylaryl, arylalkylene, arylalkyne, arylalkenyl, arylalkynyl, cyclic, cycloaliphatic, or polycyclic moieties, which may optionally independently contain at least one heteroatom, at least one active hydrogen containing component, at least one quaternized nitrogen moiety, at least one fluorine moiety, or at least one carbonyl-containing component or where R4 is -H; X is a chloride, bromide, iodide, fluoride, sulfate, nitrate, acetate, hydroxide, or formate counterion; and n is a positive integer.
