The merger of ionic liquid and liquid crystal fields, obtained by using the imidazolium angry beavers shirt ring as a common element, has allowed us to tailor a new set of materials which associate specific functionalities.These functionalities are consequences of the original properties of the component, ionic liquids, satisfyer pro penguin next generation liquid crystals and their association in a single compound.The study of this interesting association led us to elaborate environment-flexible cationic architectures from which mesomorphic properties emerge.Moreover, we have also explored the influence of different anions on the mesomorphic properties.
