Sc. James et al., NOVEL STRUCTURAL FORMS FOR IMIDOAMIDES AND OXOALKOXIDES OF BISMUTH, Journal of the Chemical Society. Dalton transactions, (22), 1996, pp. 4159-4161
The reaction between BiCl3 and 3 equivalents of Li[NHR] (R = 2,6-Me(2)
C(6)H(3)) afforded the trinuclear bismuth imidoamide species [Bi-3(mu-
NR)(4)(NHR)] whilst BiPh(3) and 3 equivalents of the alcohol HOR' (R'
= 2,6-Cl2C6H3) gave the hexanuclear oxoalkoxide compound [Bi-6(mu(3)-O
)(3)-(mu-OR)(7)(OR)(5)] both of which have been characterised by X-ray
crystallography.
