A novel synthetic route to a series of cerium bromide solvates is reported. The combination of bulk cerium bromide and the ionic liquid (IL) 1-butyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide results in a precursor paste that enhances the solubility of the cerium(III)bromide moiety in a...
