Abstract
The first examples of heterobimetallic Bi–Rh bonded complexes supported by heteroatom ligands have been synthesized and structurally characterized. BiRh(hp)4 (1) and BiRh(chp)4 (2) each adopt a [4,0]O polar geometry with Bi–Rh bond distances of 2.5409(4) and 2.5848(1) Å, respectively (hp = 2-hydroxypyridine, chp = 6-chloro-2-hydroxypyridine). The relative oxophilicity of bismuth compared to rhodium clearly influences the selective formation of the [4,0]O arrangement, even for the sterically crowded 2.
