R. Ceaolivares et al., BISMUTH(III) DIMETHYLDITHIOARSINATE, BI(S2ASME2)(3) - A NEW DIMER FORMED THROUGH BI...S SECONDARY BONDING, Heteroatom chemistry, 8(4), 1997, pp. 317-321
The crystal and molecular structures of bismuth(III) dimethyldithioars
inate, Bi(S2AsMe2)(2), were investigated by X-ray diffraction. The com
pound is a centrosymmetric dimer in which pentagonal-bipyramidal monom
eric units are associated through secondary Bi-S interactions. The str
ucture is compared with that of the analogous dithiophosphinate, Bi(S2
PMe2)(3). (C) 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
