The use of neat BrCl in organic and inorganic chemistry is limited due to its gaseous aggregate state and especially its decomposition into Cl 2 and Br 2 . The stabilization of BrCl in form of reactive ionic liquids via a novel in situ synthesis route shifts this equilibrium drastically to the BrCl side, which leads to safer and easier‐to‐handle interhalogenation reagents. Furthermore, the crystalline derivatives of the hitherto unknown [Cl(BrCl) 2 ] − and [Cl(BrCl) 4 ] − anions were synthesized and characterized by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction (XRD), Raman and IR spectroscopy, as well as quantum chemical calculations.
