A series of bis(aryl) bismuth compounds containing (N,C,N)-pincer ligands, [2,6-(Me2NCH2)2C6H3]− (Ar′), have been synthesized and structurally characterized to compare the coordination chemistry of Bi3+ with similarly sized lanthanide ions, Ln3+. Treatment of Ar′2BiCl, 1, with ClMg(CH2CHCH2) afford...
