| The reduction of volatile organic solvents with non-toxic and non-flammable media is imperative. The unique ability to tune the physical and solvent properties of ionic liquids based on the cation and anion chosen is of great interest in the area of crystallizations. The interaction between the IL, metal, and ligand can influence the resulting crystal structures, producing a structure similar to those from traditional solvents or completely new crystal structures. This inherent property of ionic liquids presents an allotment of unknown affects to crystal growth and structure, which can only be probed through experimentation. The effects of close interactions between metals and ligands will be determined for a subset of crystal structures grown in ionic liquids. It is our goal, through experimentation, to better understand the presently little known effects of these solvents on crystal growth. |
