Abstract

(Chemical Equation Presented) Bismuth(II) tetra(trifluoroacetate) acts as a metalloligand toward transition-metal units to yield heterobimetallic homoleptic carboxylates [BiM(O2CCF3)4] (M = Rh, Ru; see picture). The heterometallic molecules maintain a paddle-wheel structure, with a single bond between bismuth and the transition-metal atom, and behave as one-ended Lewis acids in solution and in the solid state.
