title: Electrochromic and magnetic ionic liquids.
abstract: Ionic liquids can be made intrinsically electrochromic and magnetic through the appropriate combination of electrochromic and magnetic anions based on ethylenediaminetetraacetic metal complexes, combined with several organic cations. These novel and highly multi-functional materials encompass the peculiar properties of ionic liquids together with the characteristics of electrochromic and magnetic materials.
