Abstract

The crystal and molecular structures of [Me2Etim]Cl, [Me2Etim]2[CoCl4], and [Me2Etim]2[NiCl4] ([Me2Etim]+ = 1,2-dimethyl-3-ethylimidazolium cation) all contain evidence that the H4 and H5 protons of the imidazolium cation enter into hydrogen bonds; the implications of this observation for the interactions in room-temperature chloroaluminate(III) ionic liquids are considered.
