This review is focused on the chemistry of polynuclear halide complexes of Bi (III)(
polyhalidebismuthates, or PHBs). It consists of three parts. The first one is dedicated to the …

Ionic liquids with chlorometallate anions may not have been the first ionic liquids, however, it
was their development that lead to the recognition that ionic liquids are a distinct, and useful …

The discovery of new materials and their efficient syntheses is a fundamental goal of
chemistry. A related objective is to identify foundational and rational approaches to enhance …

Multi-centre-bonds as well as conventional two-centre two-electron bonds are the basis for
charged or uncharged homoatomic molecules of the heavy main-group elements bismuth …

Abstract The reaction of Bi, BiCl3, and CuCl in the ionic liquid [BMIm] Cl⋅ 4 AlCl3 (BMIm= 1‐
n‐butyl‐3‐methylimidazolium) at 180° C yielded air‐sensitive shiny black crystals of …

Ionic liquids (ILs) have been proven to be valuable reaction media for the synthesis of
inorganic materials among an abundance of other applications in different fields of …

Bismuth polycations have garnered significant attention from researchers due to their
extraordinary and counter‐intuitive structures and stoichiometries. Despite extensive …
