Sumario:[Image: see text] The access to free, unsolvated ions at high concentrations and ambient temperatures enabled by ionic liquids results in previously unobserved reactivity for even well-studied ions, demonstrated here by acetate ([OAc](−)) acting as a reducing agent for B(10)H(14) but only when used as a neat liquid in [C(2)mim][OAc] at ambient temperature. More typical reaction products are obtained when B(10)H(14) is reacted with [C(2)mim][OAc] at an elevated temperature or in the presence of strong bases.
