In some embodiments, the present invention relates to compounds of formula (I): ##STR00001## or pharmaceutically acceptable salts or prodrugs thereof.

An ionic liquid for adding to an electrolyte of a lithium-ion battery, the ionic liquid comprises a compound with a dual core structure having the general formula (I): ##STR00001##
wherein each of cationic group X.sub.1 and X.sub.2 are heterocyclic aromatic and amine.

The present invention aims to provide a polymerizable compound that has high storage stability without causing crystal precipitation when added to a polymerizable composition and to provide a polymerizable composition containing the polymerizable compound. A polymer film produced by polymerization of the polymerizable composition has a low haze, high thickness uniformity, low occurrence of nonuniform orientation, high surface hardness, high adhesiveness, and good appearances and fewer orientation defects even after ultraviolet irradiation. The present invention also aims to provide a polymer produced by polymerization of the polymerizable composition and an optically anisotropic body produced from the polymer.

A compound is represented by Chemical Formula 1, and an organic photoelectric device, an image sensor, and an electronic device include the compound.

##STR00001##

In Chemical Formula 1, each substituent is the same as defined in the detailed description.
