he inclusion of lanthanoids in ionic liquids (ILs) offers an ideal route to incorporate their unique luminescent and magnetic properties into a bulk solution.1,2 However, lanthanoid compounds often exhibit a poor solubility in commonly used ILs because the IL anions are typically very weakly coordinating, prohibiting the simple dissolution of a lanthanoid salt by complexation to any beneficial extent.2 One strategy used to achieve high lanthanoid concentrations is to incorporate the lanthanoid cation directly into an anion that will form ILs.3 This is best accomplished by employing a ligand which readily coordinates to a lanthanoid atom and possesses properties, such …
