[sigma]-Accepting Properties of a Chlorobismuthine Ligand

BiZness as usual? Not exactly! The bismuth atom of the tridentate diphosphinobismuthine (o-(Ph(2)P)C(6)H(4))(2) BiCl behaves as a Z rather than L ligand when in the coordination sphere of late transition metals such as gold. The σ-acceptor behavior of Bi is supported by its disphenoid coordination g...

Summary:BiZness as usual? Not exactly! The bismuth atom of the tridentate diphosphinobismuthine (o-(Ph(2)P)C(6)H(4))(2) BiCl behaves as a Z rather than L ligand when in the coordination sphere of late transition metals such as gold. The σ-acceptor behavior of Bi is supported by its disphenoid coordination geometry and theoretical studies, which show a Au[arrow right]Bi interaction.
