Ionic Liquid Crystals

Ionic liquid crystals: Synthesis and characterization via NMR, DSC, POM, X-ray diffraction and ionic conductivity of asymmetric viologen bistriflimide salts

“…Journal Pre-proof fuel cells [26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40]. Here, we investigate whether similar mechanisms can take place through our ILCs.…”

Ionic Liquid Crystals: Versatile Materials

“…An extensive review on ionic mesogens was published by Binnemans in 2005 . Review articles that have appeared since then and that partially cover the field of ILCs include those of Axenov, Mansueto, and Laschat, , Douce et al, Chen and Eichhorn, Causin and Saielli, and Pal and Kumar . The present contribution was designed to give a comprehensive overview of the “state-of-the-art” in the field.…”

Charge Transport and Phase Behavior of Imidazolium-Based Ionic Liquid Crystals from Fully Atomistic Simulations

“…The intersection of the fields of ionic liquids and liquid crystals is a relatively new sector of materials science, but has garnered increased research in recent years [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 ], as ionic liquid crystals have begun to show promise as useful molecules in tunable conductive materials [ 5 , 6 ] or as greener solvents [ 7 , 8 ], for example. Liquid crystalline phases are of interest due to their innate mesostructure, arising from energetically- or entropically-driven alignment of molecules, or from phase separation arrested by molecular structure.…”
