Herein, we report about the preparation of several new 2,6diisopropylphenyl (Dipp) substituted (halido-) bismuthanes, namely, Dipp 3 Bi (1) and compounds of the form DippBiX 2 (X=Cl, Br, I; 2-4). The compounds 2-4 show a variety of structural motifs in their solid state structures. Reactivity of 2 towards the nucleophiles LiNMe 2 and MeLi was examined, where mostly scrambling reactions with a preference for two Dipp substituents at bismuth were observed. Therefore, the compounds Dipp 2 BiNMe 2 (5) and Dipp 2 BiMe (6) are the main products of these reactions. Moreover, new interpnictogen compounds with BiÀ N, -P, and -Sb single bonds were prepared. Compound 5 was successfully used as precursor for the preparation of Dipp 2 BiNHtBu (7) and Dipp 2 BiSbMes 2 (8), one of very few isolated compounds with a Bi-Sb single bond. Moreover, bismuthanyl phosphanes bearing functional groups (Dipp 2 BiPtBu(SiMe 3 ) (9), Dipp 2 BiPHtBu (10)) have been prepared. Compound 10 is the first isolated secondary phosphane with a bismuthanyl substituent. All isolated compounds were analyzed via IR and NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, elemental analysis and single crystal X ray diffraction.[a] T.
