The First Example of a Structurally Characterized Monomeric Bismuth Selenolate

Abstract

The reaction of intramolecularly coordinating 2-(4,4-dimethyloxazolino)phenyl selenolate ligand with anhydrous BiCl₃ (3:1 equivalents) produces the monomeric, air stable, homoleptic bismuth(III) selenolate complex.
