Abstract
Bi(OCPh3)(3) has been prepared and isolated and its structure established b y X-ray crystallography. Bi(OCPh3)(3) has been found to have a three-coordi nate structure, unlike its silyl analogue, due to pi interactions between t he Lewis acidic metal and one beta -phenyl ring of each alkoxide ligand.
