A unique pentanuclear bismuth(III) zwitterionic thiolate complex, [Bi 5 (Tab) 18 ](PF 6 ) 7 (NO 3 ) 8 ] · 6MeCN [ 1 ; Tab = 4‐(trimethylammonio)benzenethiolato], was obtained from the reaction of Bi(NO 3 ) 3 with TabHPF 6 in a 1:4 molar ratio in MeCN/MeOH in the presence of Et 3 N and structurally characterized. Single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction revealed that 1 consists of an unprecedented linear [Bi 5 (Tab) 18 ] 15+ cation, and both [PF 6 ] – and [NO 3 ] – anions in the crystal cooperatively work as anionic templates to form interesting anionic honeycomb‐like cavities for encapsulating the [Bi 5 (Tab) 18 ] 15+ cations.(© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
