In this work, devoted to 1-methyl-3-butylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ionic liquid (BumimPF6), the importanceof the purity of the solvent for spectroscopic investigations is highlighted. Results from small angle X-ray scatteringindicate that the pure solvent exhibits a local organization. Europium(II), which appears to be unusually stable inBumimPF6, is characterized by spectroscopic techniques (absorption, luminescence). Solvation of Eu(II) in BumimPF6and complexation effects in the presence of the crown ether 15C5 solubilized in the ionic liquid are discussed.
