Superfluorinated Ionic Liquid Crystals Based on Supramolecular, Halogen‐Bonded Anions

Unconventional ionic liquid crystals in which the liquid crystallinity is enabled by halogen‐bonded supramolecular anions [CnF2 n+1‐I⋅⋅⋅I⋅⋅⋅I‐CnF2 n+1]− are reported. The material system is unique in many ways, demonstrating for the first time 1) ionic, halogen‐bonded liquid crystals, and 2) imidazo...
