Bis(4-phenyl-2-sulfanylidene-2,3-dihydro-1,3-thiazol-3-ido-κ2S2,N)(4-phenyl-1,3-thiazole-2-thiolato-κS2)bismuth

Abstract

The title compound, [Bi(C9H6NS2)3], was prepared by reacting BiCl3 and 2-mercapto-4-phenylthiazole (LH) at room temperature in a stoichiometric ratio of 1:4. The molecular structure reveals a slightly distorted square-pyramidal environment around the BiIII atom. Two of the three monoanionic ligands L− coordinate in an N,S-bidentate mode, while one shows a monodentate mode through an S atom. There are no significant intermolecular interactions present in the crystal.
