A combined molecular dynamics and X‐ray absorption spectroscopy investigation shows that the Ce III ion in the protic ionic liquid ethylammonium nitrate is coordinated by nitrate ions, both as monodentate and bidentate ligands, arranged in an icosahedral structure. The metal ions are solvated within the polar domains of the ethylammonium nitrate nanostructure and the dissolved Ce(NO 3 ) 3 induces almost no reorganization of the pre‐existing structure upon solubilization.
