Fact! That is the answer to the question posed in the title. Over 40 years passed before the synthesis of bismuthine (BiH 3 ; see picture) by Amberger was confirmed successfully. High‐resolution IR and millimeter‐wave spectroscopy as well as ab initio calculations now provide a detailed picture of the molecular structure of this compound.
