Abstract: Room temperature haloaluminate ionic liquids like aluminum chloride-141-buty1)pyridinium chloride, aluminum chloride-1-methyl-3-ethylimidazolium chloride, and aluminum bromide-1-methyl-3-ethylimidazolium bromide have been found to be excellent solvents in which to study the solution chemistry of transition metal halide complexes and related species.investigated in these solvents.The anhydrous, nominally aprotic nature of these ionic liquids precludes the solvation and solvolysis phenomena that often corrupt these species in molecular solvents like water and acetonitrile.ionic liquids stabilize a number of species that ordinarily exhibit only transient existence in most molecular solvents a t room temperature.In addition, the recent finding that phosgene can be used both to remove adventitious oxide impurities from neat ionic liquids and to effect the in situ conversion of transition metal oxide halide complexes to halide complexes opens new pathways for investigating the solution chemistry of the former species. Both monomeric and polymeric complexes have beenAs a result, these
