Using ionic liquids to trap unique coordination environments: polymorphic solvates of ErCl3(OH2)(4).2([C2mim]Cl).
Two polymorphs of ErCl(3)(OH(2))(4).2([C(2)mim]Cl) solvates were isolated from the same solution of 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride when HCl(aq) was added, while [C(2)mim](3)[ErCl(6)] was isolated without HCl addition, illustrating how ionic liquids can be used to trap unusual coordination environments in the solid state.
