Tetraalkylphosphonium polyoxometalates: electroactive, "task-specific" ionic liquids

Dalton Trans. 2007 Feb 7:(5):529-31. doi: 10.1039/b614950m. Epub 2006 Dec 21.

Abstract

The pairing of selected polyoxometalate (POM) anions with appropriate tetraalkylphosphonium cations is shown to yield an original family of ionic liquids, among them an ambient-temperature "liquid POM".
