Abstract

The title bismuth-iodide compound, [Bi₂I₆(C₁₂H₈N₂)₂], has been synthesized solvothermally by reacting BiI₃, Mn(CH₃COO)₂·4H₂O, and 1,10-phenanthroline in an ethanol/water solvent mixture. The compound contains two bismuth centers that are each coordinated by a phenanthroline ligand and two terminal iodide ligands, and the bismuth centers are bridged via two additional iodide ligands to form a molecular dimer. The asymmetric unit of the compound consists of one half of a single dimer molecule located on a crystallographic inversion center.
