Intermediate polars are a major fraction of all cataclysmic variables detected by INTEGRAL in hard X-ray. These objects have recently been proposed to be the dominant X-ray source population detected near the Galactic centre, and they also contribute significantly to X-ray diffuse Galactic ridge emission. Nevertheless, only 25% of all known intermediate polars have been detected in hard X-ray. This fact can be related to the activity state of these close interacting binaries.A multi-frequency (from optical to X-ray) investigation of intermediate polars is essential for understanding the physical mechanisms responsible for the observed activity of these objects.
