“…37 Reactions between polyoxometalates and other organic cations, to this date, have provided several types of compounds, including a number of liquid crystal phases, 40,41 but only a handful of materials that can be described as truly ionic liquids. 38,39,42 From these, and besides the above mentioned compounds, 11,37 IL-materials are known with functionalized guanidinium, 43 pyridine derivatives, 44 quaternary 42,45,46 and functionalized alkylammonium, 47 and alkylphosphonium cations. 45,46,[48][49][50][51][52][53] Several polyoxometalate (POM) anions were used, ranging from the dianionic Lindquist anion, 48,50 [W 6 O 19 ] 2À , to the highly charged lantanodecatungstate anions [LnW 10 O 36 ] nÀ (Ln = Eu, Tb and n = 9; Ln = Ce and n = 8).…”
