Abstract:
A new organic-inorganic hybrid material containing bromobismuthate anions and bis(1-pyridino)hexane cations was synthesized and characterized. The reaction between (C16H22N2)2Bi2Br10 and HBr in the presence of HI vapor afforded (C16H22N2)3(BiBr6)2 as the main product and (C16H22N2)3(BiBr6)(BiBr7I) as a by-product containing the BrIBr– anion coordinated by bismuth.
