The field of functionalized ionic liquids is constantly evolving, with new concepts and applications continuously emerging. Among the areas of rapidly increasing interest and importance is the use of hydrophobic ionic liquids containing functionalities. However, lack of accurate structure-properties relationships studies represents a major obstacle to the synthesis/preparation functionalized ionic liquids with precisely engineered structures and properties for specific needs.<br/>We focused on the purposeful development of novel classes of amphiphilic ionic liquids with profoundly lower melting points (more fluid) and outstanding oxidative stability as such. “Click” chemistry-mediated strategies will be utilized to incorporate a diverse array of functionalities into the structures of ionic liquids. Due to the highly amphiphilic character and low-melting nature of the synthesized ionic liquids, they are desirable for a wide range of applications from liquid crystals to gene delivery.  <br/>
