Redox chemistry with bismuth : Snapshots of the redox chemistry of heavy p‐block elements are difficult to obtain and remain rare to date. This work demonstrates that redox‐active ligands in the coordination sphere of bismuth facilitate well‐behaved one‐electron‐transfer reactions according to cyclic voltammetry. The charge of the complexes (neutral vs. cationic) allows the spin density to shift either towards the ligand or towards the metal center. More information can be found in the Full Paper by C. Lichtenberg et al. on page 6230.
