Upon the existence of [Al3Cl10] in room temperature chloroaluminate ionic liquids

Abstract
A negative‐ion fast‐atom‐bombardment mass spectrometric study of the room temperature chloroaluminate ionic liquids AlCl3‐[MeEtim]Cl ([MeEtim]+ = 1‐methyl‐3‐ethylimidazolium cation) has produced the first unambiguous experimental evidence for the existence of [Al3C110].
