Abstract
Two potentially quadridentate chelating ligands containing bismuth atoms have been synthesised: tris(o-dimethyl-arsinophenyl) bismuthine (L1) and tris(3-dimethylarsinopropyl)bismuthine (L2). Reaction of L1 with nickel(II) salts produces the essentially square-pyramidal [NiL1X]+(X = Cl, Br, or I) and [Ni2L13][ClO4]4 species, whilst L2 forms the trigonal-bipyramidal [NiL2(OH2)][ClO4]2. The resulting structures are discussed in terms of the structures of the ligands.
