Thermally unstable crystals of the title compound—the first bismuth phosphide complex to be structurally characterized (see picture)—are obtained by the reaction of [Bi(NMe 2 ) 3 ] with [ t BuPHLi] (1:3) in THF/hexane. Berry pseudorotation of the pseudo‐trigonal‐bipyramidal [{( t BuP) 3 } 2 Bi] − ion is prevented for steric reasons.
