Bismuth( II ) tetra(trifluoroacetate) acts as a metalloligand toward transition‐metal units to yield heterobimetallic homoleptic carboxylates [BiM(O 2 CCF 3 ) 4 ] (M=Rh, Ru; see picture). The heterometallic molecules maintain a paddle‐wheel structure, with a single bond between bismuth and the transition‐metal atom, and behave as one‐ended Lewis acids in solution and in the solid state.
