Abstract: | The solubility of NbCl5, TaCl5, TiCl4, ZrCl4, and HfCl4 in neutral BMIM]AlCl4] (BMIM = 1‐butyl‐3‐methylimidazolium) was determined. While TiCl4 was immiscible with the neutral ionic liquid, 0.80 molar equivalents of ZrCl4 and stoichiometric amounts of HfCl4 dissolved in the melt at ambient temperature. The crystal structures and the unit cell parameters of BMIM]2Ti2Cl10], BMIM]2Zr2Cl10], and PhNMe3]Hf2Cl9] were determined. BMIM]2Ti2Cl10], and BMIM]2Zr2Cl10] were crystallised from basic chloroaluminate melts. With a trimethylanilinium cation, PhNMe3]Hf2Cl9] crystallised from an equimolar composition of PhNMe3Cl, AlCl3, and HfCl4. Obviously, HfCl4 abstracted a chloride ligand from AlCl4]– to give highly Lewis acidic Al2Cl7]– anions. |
