Currently, there is a great interest in the multipurpose application of recently revived substances, organic salts possessing relatively low melting points (also known as "room-temperature ionic liquids," RTILs, or "plastic ionic crystals").

Notable stabilization of [alpha]-Chymotrypsin by the protic ionic additive, [ch][dhp]: calorimetric evidence for a fine enthalpy/entropy balance

In the case of molecular, atomic, or ionic crystals, the interplanar spacing, d, is in the range of [Angstrom], thus having the capacity of diffracting X-rays.

Optical properties of the self-assembling polymeric colloidal systems

Since the conductivity--temperature data obeys an Arrhenius relationship, the nature of cation transport is quite similar to that occurring in ionic crystals, where ions jump into neighboring vacant sites and hence increase the ionic conductivity (24).

Characterization of poly(vinyl alcohol)/potassium chloride polymer electrolytes for electrochemical cell applications

The new results indicate that beams of ionic crystals should be possible to maintain even in large, high-energy ion accelerators, as long as the beam trajectories are smooth.
