Modern room temperature ionic liquids are structurally defined by symmetries on different length scales. Polar-apolar alternation defines their nanoscale structural heterogeneity, whereas positive negative charge alternation defines short length scale order. Much progress has been made in the past few years as it pertains to the theoretical interpretation of X-ray scattering experiments for these liquids. Our group has contributed to the development of theoretical interpretation guidelines for the analysis of their structure function. Perhaps less well developed is our understanding of how transport and dynamics in general couple to the very unique structure of ionic liquids which are often dynamically and structurally heterogeneous. This article attempts to present our general and its coupling to transport and dynamics in minimally technical most current understanding of ionic liquid structure in terms for the benefit of the broadest audience.
