“…Crystallisation of 12 from thf-hexane yields crystals of F,),(p-OC,F,),(thf)4] 12b, which differ in whether hexane of crystallisation is present or not, both of which contain two thf ligands per bismuth centre but which have six-co-ordinate bismuth centres as a result of bridging OC6F5 groups in contrast to the lack of bridging SC,F, groups in 8-10. This feature is again evident in the structure of the complex 5) 4655( 5) 2382( 5) 1641( 6) 2274( 6) 2546( 6) 2149( 6) 1332( 7) 977( 5 ) -142(4) -1315(5) -1386( 5) -247 (6) 928( 4) 2907(5) 3 184( 5) 4384( 5) 5261( 5) 5038( 6) 3636( 4) 2542( 5) 4047( 5) 3293( 9) 4441 (11) z 3038( 1) 3773( 2) 1569( 1) 2025( 2) 6008(4) 537 l(5) 1 244( 5) 2951( 5) 472 1 ( 6) 6670( 7) 8030( 5) 7425( 5) 5452( 5) 336 1 (3) 3288( 5 -987( 5) 987( 5) 4449(3) 241 l( 5) 5238( 4) 5870( 9) 6926( 7) 302 ( 7) Atom C( 14) C( 15 12) 3293( 9) 3369( 5) 2746 (6) 1988 (7) 181 3 (7) 2407 (8) 3 166( 7) 4101( 11) 5244( 9) 529...…”
