Magnetic Ionic Liquids
Magnetic ionic liquids are functionalized ionic liquids with magnetic property. Magnetic ionic liquids consist of an organic cation and an inorganic or organic anion. Magnetic ionic liquids are usually liquid state at room temperature. Unlike conventional ionic liquids, the cations or anions of magnetic ionic liquids contain magnetic centers. Because of the existence of magnetic center, the magnetic ionic liquid can be magnetized and can respond to the external magnetic field. Figure 1 shows that [bmim]FeCl4, a typical magnetic ionic liquid, responds to a magnet.

Applications:
Magnetic ionic liquids can generate certain magnetization intensity under the action of external magnetic field, and can produce macro response to the external magnetic field. Due to the advantages of easy separation and reutilization, magnetic ionic liquids are widely used in the field of chemical, pharmaceutical and environmental protection.
- Catalyst: Magnetic ionic liquids can be catalyst in polymerization, Friedel-Crafts reaction and aryl Grignard cross-coupling reaction. For example, without dopant and oxidant, simply adding pyrrole into the [bmim]FeCl4 solution can obtain polypyrrole(PPy) at room temperature. The particle size distribution of the obtained nano-spheres is narrow, and the nano-spheres are aligned with the applied magnetic field, which suggests that the applied magnetic field has an influence on the nano-spheres.
- Magnetic carbon nanotubes: Magnetic ionic liquids react with carbon nanotubes to obtain magnetic carbon nanotubes, which can be applied in bio-nano engineering, biomedical and magnetic instruments. A group reported a magnetically responsive nanomaterial that was prepared by covalent attachment of a magnetic ionic liquid (MIL), specifically 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium [FeCl4], to single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). The reported magnetic-SWCNTs (m-SWCNTs) have a strong magnetic response and can be easily dispersed in an organic solvent (N-methyl pyrrolidone).

Classification:
According to the relationship between structure and magnetism, magnetic ionic liquids can be divided into two categories.
- Pure organic magnetic ionic liquid: Pure organic magnetic ionic liquid refers to the composition of magnetic ionic liquid does not contain metal elements, and its magnetism comes from its own structure.
- Metallic magnetic ionic liquid: The magnetism of metallic magnetic ionic liquid derives from the metal ion in the ionic liquid. Furthermore, the metallic magnetic ionic liquid can be divided into transition metal magnetic ionic liquid and Lanthanide metal magnetic ionic liquid.
