The octanuclear bismuth(III) thiosalicylate complex, [Bi8(tsal)12(DMF)6](DMF)6 (H2tsal = thiosalicylic acid, DMF = N,N′-dimethylformamide), has been prepared and structurally characterized. The single crystal X-ray structure analysis has demonstrated that the eight Bi atoms form a disk-like cluster core and that each lone pair of two Bi atoms as the asymmetric unit is stereochemically activated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
