Abstract
Three new isostructural materials Ln(TMA)(DMU)2 (Ln(C9O6H3)((CH3NH)2CO)2; Ln: La 1, Nd 2, Eu 3; TMA: trimesate, DMU: dimethylurea) have been synthesised ionothermally using a choline chloride/dimethylurea deep eutectic mixture as the solvent. Normally in ionothermal synthesis the urea portion of the deep eutectic solvent is unstable, breaking down to release ammonium cations that act as templates. In the case of 1–3, however, the dimethylurea remains intact and is incorporated into the final structure.
