Figure S3: EXAFS, Fourier transforms, and XANES of CuCl2, CuCl, and CuS in 1ChCl:2U.
In 1ChCl:2U the CuS is more closely related to CuCl than CuCl2.

Figure S4: EXAFS, Fourier transforms, and XANES of Fe chlorides in 1ChCl:2EG (top)
and 1ChCl:2U (bottom). In 1ChCl:2EG both species are tetrachloride, with different
oxidation states. In 1ChCl:2U both species are urea-complexed, with the same oxidation
states.

Figure S5: Normalised UV-vis spectra of CuCl2 (left) and FeCl3 (right) in the three different
DESs, showing that speciation remains similar for copper but changes substantially for iron.
