The reaction between BiBr 3 and one equivalent of PMe 3 in THF affords, after recrystallisation from MeCN/Et 2 O, yellow crystals of [PMe 3 H][Bi 2 Br 7 (PMe 3 ) 2 ]. 2 (MeCN) ( 1 ), which has been characterised by X‐ray crystallography. Compound 1 is the first reported bismuth‐phosphine complex and comprises a polymeric anion, the monomeric unit of which contains a planar Bi 2 Br 6 core, each bismuth being further bonded to a PMe 3 ligand and an additional bromide such that the bismuth resides in an octahedral coordination environment. The latter bromides form linear bridges between monomeric units; the phosphines are trans with respect to the Bi 2 unit, with a Bi‐P distance of 2.762(3) A. The reaction between Bil 3 and PEt 3 in THF affords, after recrystallisation from MeCN/Et 2 O, orange crystals of [PEt 4 ] 4 [Bi 6 I 22 ] ( 3 ) which has also been characterised by X‐ray crystallography.
