Abstract

New bismuth alkoxide and oxo-alkoxide complexes have been prepared from the salt metathesis reaction of NaOR with BiCl3. When R = CH(CF3)2, the product is [Bi(μ- OR)(OR)2(THF)]2 Similar work with R = C6F5 has not yielded a simple alkoxide, but complexes of formulation NaBi33-O)(OR)8(THF), NaBi4((μ3-O)2(OR)9(THF)2, Na2Bi43- O)2(OR)10 and Bi63 -OR)(μ3 -O)43-OBi(OR)4]3 have been observed. The reaction of BiPh3 with HOC6F5, however, did produce the desired alkoxide which has been characterized as [Bi(OR)2(μ-OR)(toluene)]2 and [Bi(OR)2(μ-OR)(toluene)[2.2 toluene. The reaction of this alkoxide with NaOC6F5 led to the production of Bi63--O)24-O)(OR)12 and NaBi33- O)(OR)8(THF)3. Reaction of BiPh3 with HOC6F5 in THF led to the formation of Bi63-OR)(μ3-O)43-OBi(OR)4]3 (THiF)2. Surprisingly the reaction of BiEt3 and HOR (R = C6F5 or Ph) displaced only one Et group to give [Et2Bi(μ-OR)]∞ which exist as infinite chain polymers with alternating Bi-O-Bi backbones. These spiral chains form chiral helices in the crystal lattice.
