Synthesis and structure of tris(3-methylphenyl)bismuth bis(3,4-dimethylbenzenesulfonate)

Resumo

Tris(3-methylphenyl)bismuth bis(3,4-dimethylbenzenesulfonate) has been synthesized via the reaction of tris(3-methylphenyl)bismuth, 3,4-dimethylbenzenesulfonic acid, and hydrogen peroxide (1: 2: 1) in diethyl ether. Bismuth atoms in the product molecule have the trigonal bipyramidal coordination with arenesulfonate substituting groups in the axial positions.
