Poly(alkylene phosphate) backbones are at the basis of two important classes of biomacromolecules, nucleic and teichoic acids. Both are known to strongly bind metal cations; teichoic acids interact specifically with Ca2+ and Mg2+ cations transporting these cations in the biological milieu. This review describes the work of this laboratory directed towards synthesis of the backbones interaction with cations and some applications in nonbiological systems, although related to the ability to interact with cations. Thus, poly(alkylene phosphates) are described as liquid membranes and in the form of block copolymers as regulating crystal growth by interacting with cations rich surface. Moreover, poly(alkylene phosphates) function as strong acids: cationation of polyaniline (doping) leading to the intermolecular complex, in which poly(pentamethylene phosphate) specifically recognize the distance between the nitrogen atoms in polyaniline.
