Ionic liquid crystals are materials that combine the classes of liquid crystals
and ionic liquids. The first one is based on the multi-billion-dollar flat panel
display industry, whilst the latter quickly developed in the past decades into a
family of highly-tunable non-volatile solvents. The combination yields materials
with a unique set of properties, but also with many challenges ahead. In this
review, we provide an overview of the key concepts in ionic liquid crystals,
particularly from a molecular perspective. What are the important molecular
parameters that determine the phase behavior? How should they be introduced into
the molecules? Finally, which other tools does one have to realize specific
properties in the material?
