Abstract

Thermally unstable crystals of the title compound - the first bismuth phosphide complex to be structurally characterized (see picture) - are obtained by the reaction of [Bi(NMe₂)₃] with [tBuPHLi] (1:3) in THF/hexane. Berry pseudorotation of the pseudo-trigonal-bipyramidal [{(tBuP)₃}₂Bi]^- ion is prevented for steric reasons.
