Synthesis and structural study of triphenylbismuth bis (salicylate)

Abstract

The crystal of triphenylbismuth bis (Salicylate) pentavalent was synthesized from the reaction of triphenylbismuth di-chloride with salicylic acid dissolved in methylene chloride at room temperature. The molecular and crystal structures of triphenylbismuth bis (Salicylate) were determined by X-ray diffraction analysis. This compound crystallizes in the triclinic space group 1P with crystallographic parameters: a = 11.2937 (3) Å, b = 14.6516 (3) Å, c = 17.8253 (4) Å, α = 78.2958 (7)°, β = 76.232 (6)°, γ = 85.351 (6)°,6.332mm, V = 2803.59 (11) Å, 2Z, 31.693gcmDc, . The final residual factor is 0.0602 for 5806 reflexions with 0001392,F2932KT2II. The bismuth atom of the compound has a distorted trigonal-bipyramidal configuration.
