Abstract: This Review covers the recent developments (2005-2015) in the design, synthesis, characterization, and application of thermotropic ionic liquid crystals. It was designed to give a comprehensive overview of the "state-of-the-art" in the field. The discussion is focused on low molar mass and dendrimeric thermotropic ionic mesogens, as well as selected metal-containing compounds (metallomesogens), but some references to polymeric and/or lyotropic ionic liquid crystals and particularly to ionic liquids will also be provided. Although zwitterionic and mesoionic mesogens are also treated to some extent, emphasis will be directed toward liquid-crystalline materials consisting of organic cations and organic/inorganic anions that are not covalently bound but interact via electrostatic and other noncovalent interactions.

Role of the Electrostatic Interactions in the Stabilization of Ionic Liquid Crystals: Insights from Coarse-Grained MD Simulations of an Imidazolium Model
Giacomo Saielli,Yanting Wang +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the role of the electrostatic interactions in stabilizing various phases of ionic liquids, especially smectic ionic liquid crystals, was investigated using a coarse-grained model of 1-hexadecyl-3-methylimidazolium nitrate, [C16mim][NO3], with the partial charges artificially rescaled by a factor from 0.7 to 1.2.

Ionic Liquid Crystals in Tribology
TL;DR: A brief account of the most recent advances in the use of ionic liquid crystals (ILCs) in the field of tribology, that is, the development of new lubricants with the ability to reduce the coefficients of friction and the wear rates of materials under sliding conditions, is provided in this article.
