Ionic liquids [BMIM]Cl鈥?i>nMClx, [Et3NH]Cl鈥?i>nMClx, and [BPy]Cl鈥?i>nMClx (M = Al, Fe, Zn; n = 1, 2, 2.5) were used for the catalytic chlorination of methylphenyldichlorosilane with gaseous chlorine to chlorinated methylphenyldichlorosilanes. The catalytic activities of the ionic liquids were in an order of ionic liquids containing AlnCl鈥?/sup>3n+1 鈮?ionic liquids containing FenCl鈥?/sup>3n+1 > ionic liquids containing ZnnCl鈥?/sup>2n+1, being inconsistent with the order of their Lewis acidities. Lewis acid sites present in the ionic liquids catalyzed the chlorination reaction, while Br枚nsted acid sites caused the cleavage of the phenyl-silicon bond. Methylchlorophenyldichlorosilane was mainly formed by the chlorination of methylphenyldichlorosilane over the ionic liquids.
