Abstract
Bismuth tris(3-methylbenzoate) [Bi(O2CC6H4CH3-3)3]∞ (I) and phenylbismuth bis(3,4,5-trifluorobenzoate) [PhBi(μ-O2CC6H2F3-3,4,5)(O2CC6H2F3-3,4,5)]2 (II) were synthesized by reacting triphenylbismuth with 3-methylbenzoic and 3,4,5-trifluorobenzoic acids. Coordination numbers of bismuth atoms in I and II are 9 and 6, respectively; carboxylate ligands function as bi- and tridentate ligands. The Bi-O distances in compound I vary in the range of 2.218(3)-3.202(4) Å. The Bi-O and Bi-C bond lengths in II are 2.301(2)-2.674(2) and 2.223(3) Å, respectively.
