Abstract Cu(I) and Ni(II) coordination polymers with 4,4′‐bipyridine 2,2′‐bipyridine, respectively, that have been synthesized from an ionic liquid (1‐ethyl‐3‐methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate) gave different environment supramolecular networks than the corresponding synthesis other solvents. The resultant complexes were characterized by single crystal x‐ray diffraction methods.
