Tris[bis-(2-methyl-prop-yl)dithio-phosphinato]bis-muth(III).

ABSTRACT: The title compound, [Bi(C(8)H(18)PS(2))(3)], contains a Bi(III) cation surrounded by three bis-(2-methyl-prop-yl)dithio-phosphinate anions, leading to a distorted octa-hedral coordination for the heavy metal. The Bi-S and S-P bond lengths are in the ranges 2.7694 (18)-2.8391 (17) and 2.019 (2)-2.035 (2) Å, respectively. The crystal structure is consolidated by C-H⋯S hydrogen bonds. Intra-molecular C-H⋯π inter-actions also play a role in stabilizing the mol-ecules.
