Melting point suppression in new lanthanoid(iii) ionic liquids by trapping of kinetic polymorphs: an in situsynchrotron powder diffraction study†
Abstract
The complexes (N4444)3[Ln(dcnm)6] (Ln = La–Nd, Sm; N4444 = tetrabutylammonium) display a decrease in the melting point upon fast cooling from a melt, which is shown by in situsynchrotron based
