Lanthanide-Based Organic Salts
Forte, Andreia; Gago, Sandra; Alves, Celso; Silva, Joana; Alves, Joana; Pedrosa, Rui; Laia, César A. T.; Marrucho, Isabel M.; Branco, Luís C.The formulation of magnetic ionic liquids (MILs) or organic salts based on lanthanides as anions has been explored. In this work, a set of choline-family-based salts, and two other, different cation families, were combined with Gadolinium(III) and Terbium(III) anions. Synthetic methodologies were previously optimized, and all organic salts were obtained as solids with melting temperatures higher than 100 °C. Th...
