Abstract:The chemistry of low-valent bismuth compounds has recently unlocked new concepts in catalysis as well as unique electronic structure fundamentals. In this work, we describe the synthesis and characterization of a highly-reduced bismuth salt featuring a cationic core based on three contiguous Bi(I) centers. The triatomic bismuth-based core holds an electronic situation that mimics the description of the archetypical carbonbased π-allyl cation. Structural, spectroscopic and theoretical analyses validate the uniq… Show more
