The anion [ICl 4 ] may be synthesized by bubbling Cl 2 (g) through a solution

Question:

The anion [ICl₄]⁻ may be synthesized by bubbling Cl₂(g) through a solution of iodide ions. This complex anionic species can undergo decomposition, losing Cl₂, to form initially [ICl₂]⁻ and eventually regenerating I⁻. Suggest a counter-ion you could use to crystallize [ICl₄]⁻ and prevent its decomposition.
