Ionothermal synthesis using a hydrophobic ionic liquid as solvent in the preparation of a novel aluminophosphate chain structure

Abstract
A novel aluminophosphate chain structure, Al(H2PO4)2F, has been synthesised ionothermally using the hydrophobic ionic liquid 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis((trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl)amide as the solvent.
