My compound. Eu(1,2-BDC)(phen)bredwards.Cl3. H2O

Expecting both ligands to be bidentate chelate. Although phen could turn out to be tridentate. I need to maximize yield of the solvothermal synthesis. However, thanks to the global mailing system, the ionic liquid is not in, even after ordering it one month in advance.

The ionic liquid I am using for synthesis is called ECOENG-212. IUPAC name for the compound is 1-Ethyl-3-methylimidazolium ethyl sulfate. I am yet in the process of defining the chemical composition of "bredwards". Having defined it, I will soon write down the abstract.

So far, that's the plan.
