Ionic? Mn2O7 solution would be fairly ionic, no?

At higher oxidation states, metals tend to form bonds with more covalent character. I would expect that molecule to be covalent, not ionic.

He means Mn2O7 + H2O <--> 2H+ + 2MnO4-.
Oh, and how about NH4+ + ClO3-.

Is this what you're asking about? Intresting stuff.

Yes, ionic liquids have only recently sprung to attention, I think there was recently a high profile publication in Nature, by some german group, even
though they were discovered decades ago.
They are rare though, simply because the ionic character makes these liquids non-volatile due to electrostatic forces. Solutions of ionic salts, as
mentioned above, do *not* fall into this category. The isolated ionic salts are liquid, and can be distilled like any other organic compound, which is
part of its definition from what I remember from this article.
Energetic ones... well look at the wiki entry - one could attach a ClO4/NO3 anion, or include NO2 groups on the cation. Not easy for sure.

Interesting stuff... Oxygen balanced energetic ionic liquids may be hard to make, since the cation has to be considerably larger than the anion. But
their solvent properties might allow them to be mixed with oxidizers like ammonium perchlorate or ammonium nitrate. Simple examples would be
ethylammonium nitrate/perchlorate with ammonium nitrate/perchlorate. The addition of another ionic compound may even form eutectics with an even lower
melting point...
Their potential use in meltcast compositions is also promising. In the article below, a lot of ionic liquids are given that have sufficiently low
melting temperatures to be cast alone or in combination with other high explosives, analogous to cyclotol or octol. With a big plus being the very low
sensivity and high stability of these compounds. Surprisingly, some of the energetic ionic liquids mentioned have detonation pressures in the same
range as RDX or PETN at crystal density...
Hygroscopicity must be a mayor problem with a lot of these compounds though, just like the OTC availability of triazole...

Oh I see, proton base activity on the same molecule. Would an
amino acid count as an example of this ? For example, substituting
the carboxyl acid functional group of glycine with a nitroamine
group , H2N.CH2.NHNO2
.

Already been done... Look up the explosive MEDINA(Methylene Dinitramine).

Not sure how MEDINA relates to this,
