In this disclosure, transition and rare earth metal-based magnetic ionic liquids (MILs) are successfully prepared in a two-step synthesis and used to extract viable bacteria from a liquid sample. The disclosed MILs are extremely hydrophobic MILs and were insoluble in aqueous solution at 0.01% (v/v). Furthermore, these MILs were miscible in a variety of polar and non-polar organic solvents. Moreover, these MILs possess low viscosity and increased magnetic susceptibility. These MILs possess unique characteristics that can have great potential uses in various chemical applications such as extraction solvents in LLE, liquid electrochromic materials (Co-based MILs), and novel reaction media for organic synthesis.
