Organobismuth compounds containing

Diarylbismuthinic Acids and Their Esters. Although organobismuth(V) compounds containing three, four, or five Bi—C bonds are well-known, no compounds containing two such bonds had been prepared until a number of methyl diarylbismuthinates (diarylmethoxybismuth oxides) were reported ia 1988 (145). 

Compounds Containing Transition Metal Main Group Elements) Transition metal complexes which incorporate organobismuth functions are also described in (see Bismuth Organometallic Chemistry). 

Despite the relative weakness and high reactivity of Bi—C bonds, there is an extensive chemistry of organobismuth compounds. In addition to the reviews noted in Section 3.6.1, other articles specifically focused on bismuth are available.The review by Silvestri et contains detailed descriptions of the structures of complexes of organobismuth compounds and contains much pertinent data on the stereochemistries adopted by bismuth. Organobismuth analogues of... 

Bismuth, Bi, the 83rd element of the periodic table is the most metallic and the least abundant of the elements in the nitrogen family (group 15). It has an atomic mass of 208.980 and a ground state electronic configuration of [Xe] 4f 5d %s 6p. The bismuth atom usually utilizes the three 6p electrons in bond formation and retains the two 6s electrons as an inert pair, hence the oxidation state -1-3 exhibited by bismuth in the vast majority of its compounds. However, a variety of organobismuth compounds can contain the element in the -1-5 oxidation state. Coordination numbers are 2, 3,4, 5 and 6. Bismuth not only has metallic characteristics but also exhibits many properties similar to those of semiconductors and insulators. Consequently, it is often classified as a semi-metal or metalloid. Bismuth compounds are usually colorless unless the metal is bound to a chromophore. 

This book covers comprehensively all aspects of the subject related to organobismuth chemistry in a self-contained manner. However, it is focused on academic aspects and consequently the references include a limited numbers of patents that are mentioned only where pertinent to the description. Chapter 1 serves as an introduction to bismuth as the element. In Chapters 2-4, organobismuth compounds are classified according to the types of compounds and dealt with in detail. Chapter 5 is devoted to the use of bismuth and derivatives in organic transformations. In these four chapters, brief to moderate descriptions for selected experimental procedures are included they are intended to inform the readers of relevant protocols and should serve in preparative studies which are based on analogies. In the final chapter the X-...
