Single crystal structural characterizations are reported for a pair of bismuth(III)/oxinate ('ox') complexes, formulated as [Bi(ox) 3 (OH 2 )] 2 and [BiPh(ox) 2 ( O ‐dmso)] 2 respectively. In the former, analytically significant, species the Bi(ox) 3 coordination sphere is augmented by dimerization by way of bridging interactions through two of the ox oxygen donor atoms and a residue modelled as a coordinated water molecule oxygen atom. In the dmso complex, a novel pentagonal pyramidal coordination environment (Ph at the apex) is described, presumably consequent on the effect of close η 6 ‐interactions of the bismuth with the carbocyclic ring of one of the ox ligands of an adjacent, inversion‐related molecule.
