Rare earth doped fluorides (BaMgF 4 , aYF 4 and BaYF 5 /BaLuF 5 ) have been synthesized and dispersed in an ionic liquid compound, (3‐triethoxysilyl) propyl‐3‐methylimidazolium chloride (denoted as IM + Cl − ). Through the cohydrolysis and copolycondensatoin reaction between the alkoxy group (3‐triethoxysilyl) of IM + and tetraethoxysilane in the presence of carboxylic acids (formic acid) as catalyst and water source, luminescent hybrid ionogels form subsequently. 1 H NMR spectroscopy, X‐ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and especially up‐conversion ( UC ) luminescence spectroscopy are used to characterize the precursors and the resulted hybrid ionogels. These hybrid ionogels exhibit the UC luminescence properties of immobilized rare earth fluoride nanocrystals (BaMgF 4 , NaYF 4 and BaYF 5 /BaLuF 5 ) doped Er 3+ /Tm 3+ , Yb 3+ .
