Synthesis and x-ray structural investigation of bismuth 2-methyl-8-quinolineselenolate Bi[C9H5(CH3)NSe

Abstract

Bismuth 2-methyl-8-quinolineselenolate, Bi[C 9 H 5 (CH 3 )NSe] 3 , was synthesized. X-ray analysis was used to determine the structure of this complex. The crystal chemistry of bismuth(III), antimony(III), and arsenic(III) 2-methyl-8-quinolineselenolates and 2-methyl-8-quinolinethiolates was discussed relative to the effect of going from Se to S as the ligand atoms and presence of a methyl group at C-2 of the quinoline system and unshared electron pair of the central atom in the complex.
