Abstract
The reaction of triphenylbismuth dichloride with sodium fluoride in acetone leads to formation of triphenylbismuth difluoride in 73% yield. The X-ray diffraction data show that the bismuth atom in the two symmetrically independent molecules of bismuth difluoride has a trigonal-bipyramidal coordination with equatorial fluorine atoms. The Bi-F and Bi-C distances are 2.53(1)-2.59(1) and 2.10(3)-2.22(2) A, respectively, and the FBiF angle is 175.1(5)°.
