The unique power of NMR spectroscopy in anisotropic media (LX-NMR) as a tool to obtain local and bulk structural information, combined with the effectiveness of molecular dynamics simulations at the atomistic level, shows very attractive potentialities for the study of Ionic Liquid Crystals.

Molecular dynamics simulations were performed on a 1-dodecyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([C$_{12}$mim][PF$_6$]) ionic liquid crystal (ILC) with an oscillatory shear. We found the oscillatory shear can both accelerate and suppress the mesophase...
