“…Bromides R(C 6 F 5 )BiBr, R(Mes)BiBr, and R(Ph)-BiBr (R = 2-(Me 2 NCH 2 )C 6 H 4 ) were synthesized similarly from equimolar amounts of RBi-Br 2 and C 6 F 5 MgBr, MesMgBr, or PhMgBr or from PhBiBr 2 and RLi in a molar ratio of 1 : 1 (Scheme 89) [12]. In the monochlorides, one nitrogen atom is strongly coordinated to the bismuth atom (2.660 (11) The reactions of organobismuth(III) chlorides R 2 BiCl and RBiCl 2 , where R = 2-(Me 2 NCH 2 )C 6 H 4 , with alkaline metal pseudohalides in a molar ratio of 1 : 1 and 1 : 2, respectively, afforded hypervalent bismuth compounds R 2 BiX (X = NCO, SeCN) and RBiX 2 (X = NCO, NCS, and SeCN) (Scheme 95) [98].…”
