The reactions of copper, silver, and gold with the imidazolium-based polyhalide ionic liquid (IL) [C<sub>6</sub>C<sub>1</sub>Im][Br<sub>2</sub>I] were investigated by using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), weight-loss measurements, and gas-phase mass spectrometry. All three Group 11 metals are strongly corroded by the IL at moderate temperatures to give a very high content of dissolved Cu<sup>I</sup>, Ag<sup>I</sup>, and Au<sup>I</sup> species. The IL-metal solutions are stable against co ...[more]
