Metal hydroxide based ionic liquid composition

A process for preparing an ionic liquid composition, said process comprising the following steps:

• using a single reaction vessel;
• using at least one metal hydroxide;
• using at least one metal halide;
• using at least one solvent;
• mixing at least one said metal hydroxide and at least one said metal halide in at least one said solvent under continuous stirring at a temperature in the range of 80 to 120° C. to obtain the ionic liquid composition in the form of ionic liquid clathrate;
• wherein said solvent is selected from the group consisting of benzene, and toluene;
• and
• wherein said ionic liquid clathrate is represented by Formula (I):
• M1⋅M2⋅M3⋅ . . . ⋅Mn⋅solvent (Formula (I))
• wherein M1 is at least one metal hydroxide;
• M2, M3, . . . , Mn are metal halides;
• n is in the range of 2 to 20;
• and
• the dot (⋅) between M1, M2, M3, Mn and solvent represents at least one coordinate covalent bond and weak van der waal's force,
• wherein the at least one said metal hydroxide is selected from the group consisting of aluminum hydroxide, chromium hydroxide, iron hydroxide, cobalt hydroxide, nickel hydroxide, cupric hydroxide, tin hydroxide, and lead hydroxide, and
• wherein the at least one said metal halide is selected from the group consisting of aluminum chloride, ferric chloride, aluminum bromide, titanium tetrachloride, cupric chloride, magnesium chloride, copper chloride, zinc chloride, cuprous chloride, and chromium chloride.
