“…This is due to the potential to change their structural features simply by: varying the nature of the cation and/or the anion; tuning them by introducing small structural changes in the constituting ions, or of the spacers separating them provides the opportunity to obtain materials with sets of desired properties suitable for different applications. They have been applied as a chemical anchorage on a solid support [10], starting materials for the synthesis of molecular devices [11,12], reaction media or catalysts, immobilization of catalysts [9], reaction media for high-temperature organic reactions [13,14], catalysts [15], receptors for anion recognition [16], low-molecular-weight gelators [17], fluorescent organic salts [18,19], energetic materials [20,21], for use in the preparation of solid films for organic electronic applications [22] and electrowetting materials [23]. Heteromolecules including imidazole, 1,10-phenanthroline, pyridine and others have been used as the starting materials for the synthesis of polycationic organic salts.…”
