Abstract
Reaction of BiCl3 with one equivalent of 2,4,6-triphenylphenyllithium in toluene results in the formation of crystalline 2,4,6-triphenyl-phe nylbismuthdichloride toluene disolvate (1). The crystal structure of 1 has been determined by X-ray diffraction. In spite of the extremely b ulky substituents at the bismuth atom, complex 1 is dimeric in the sol id state with intramolecular Bi-CI bond lengths of 2.530(1)Angstrom an d bridging Bi-Cl of 3.074(1)Angstrom.
