In-situ study of the solid-gas reaction of biCl3 to biOCl via the intermediate hydrate biCl3·H2O

At ambient conditions the hydrolysis of BiCl3 to BiOCl proceeds via the intermediate hydrate: BiCl3-H2O as has been revealed by fimo dependent in-situ X-ray powdor diffraclion as well as time; and temperature controlled TG-MS experiments. Below 50 °C the topochemical formation of the hydrate can be reversed by reduciny the H2O vapour pressure. Above this temperature the hydrate is unstable and the mechanism of the hydrolysis changes. BiCl3·H2O crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/m with lattice parameters a = 1114.25(1) pm, b = 876.82(1) pm, C = 584.20(1) pm, and β = 106.64(1)°.
Reactions of Chlorine with Liquid Metals. 3. Bismuth
Balooch, M.,Siekhaus, W. J.,Olander, D. R.

The reaction of molecular chlorine with solid and liquid bismuth was studied by modulated molecular beam-mass spectrometric methods over temperature range 400-800 K and equivalent chlorine pressures of 5 * 10-6-2 * 10-4 torr.The sole reaction product with solid Bi(0001) was BiCl3.This species disappeared at the melting point.The molecular beam data collected on the trichloride product exhibited nonlinearity and evidence of both branched and series processes in the mechanism.These results, in conjunction with data obtained in a prior investigation of the system by thermal desorption spectroscopy, permitted development of a model of the reaction on the surface of the solid.With liquid bismuth, only BiCl was detected as reaction product.Its reaction probability increased with temperature, most likely because of a corresponding increase in the chlorine sticking probability.The 45 deg phase lag exhibited by this species indicated that the kinetics were dominated by solution and diffusion of chlorine in the bulk liquid bismuth.
Syntheses, properties and crystal structures of the cluster salts Bi 6[PtBi6Cl12] and Bi2/3[PtBi 6Cl12]

Melting reactions of Bi with Pt and BiCl3 yield shiny black, air insensitive crystals of the subchlorides Bi6[PtBi6Cl 12] and Bi2/3[PtBi6Cl12]. Despite the substantial difference in the bismuth content the two compounds have almost the same pseudo-cubic unit cell and follow the structural principle of a CsCl type cluster salt. Bi6[PtBi6Cl12] consists of cuboctahedral [PtBi6Cl12]2- clusters and Bi62+ polycations (a = 9.052(2) A, α = 89.88(2)°, space group P1, multiple twins). In the electron precise cluster anion, the Pt atom (18 electron count) centers an octahedron of Bi atoms whose edges are bridged by chlorine atoms. The Bi62+ cation, a nido cluster with 16 skeletal electrons, has the shape of a distorted octahedron with an opened edge. In Bi2/3[PtBi6Cl12] the anion charge is compensated by weakly coordinating Bi3+ cations which are distributed statistically over two crystallographic positions (a = 9.048(2) A, α = 90.44(3)°, space group R3). Bi 6[PtBi6Cl12] is a semiconductor with a band gap of about 0.1 eV. The compound is diamagnetic at room temperature though a small paramagnetic contribution appears towards lower temperature.
Solution-phase template approach for the synthesis of Cu2S nanoribbons

In this paper, we have developed a solution-phase template approach to synthesize Cu2S nanoribbons for the first time. Bi2S 3 nanoribbons act as both template and reactant when treated with small CuCl particles, generating Cu2S nanoribbons with the assistance of the solvent ethanol. Nanoribbons with different compositions of Bi 2S3 and Cu2S also could be obtained through controlling the reaction time. This kind of template method is expected to be a general template approach due to its slow reaction rate and simplicity. The Royal Society of Chemistry 2006.

Reduction of MoCl5 with Bi in a sealed borosilicate ampule at 350°C, followed by sublimation of by-product BiCl3 and addition of aqueous hydrochloric acid, yielded chloromolybdic acid, (H3O) 2Mo6(μ3-Cl)8Cl 6·6H2O, in 80% yield (unoptimized) after double recrystallization. Chloromolybdic acid was thermolyzed to Mo6Cl 12 in 95% yield.
Crystalline and glassy phases in the ternary system Tl/Bi/Cl: Synthesis and crystal structures of the thallium(I) chloridobismutates(III) Tl3BiCl 6 and TlBi2Cl7

Slow cooling of melts composed of TlCl and BiCl3 allows for the isolation of the compounds Tl3BiCl6 (1) and TlBi 2Cl7 (2). Compound 1 is formed by sublimation at 480 °C from the black melt of 3 TlCl + 1 BiCl3 as colourless crystals. The crystal structure determination (tetragonal, P42/m) consists of nearly regular octahedral [BiCl6]3- anions and two independent Tl+ cations, which have coordination number 8 in form of a slightly distorted cube and 10 in form of an Edshamar polyhedron, respectively. The structure is not isotypic with the recently reported naturally occurring form of Tl3BiCl6, the mineral steropesite. Compound 2 is obtained from a dark red melt of composition TlCl + 2 BiCl 3. On rapid cooling, this melt solidifies to a metasta-ble dark red glass which at ambient temperature crystallises to a light amber crystalline powder within some weeks. The structure of 2 was determined by powder diffraction (triclinic, P1). A distinct lone pair effect is present causing an irregular coordination on the two independent bismuth atoms. Taking Bi-Cl bonds up to 3.5 A into account, both bismuth atoms gain coordination number seven. 203T1 and 205Tl solid state NMR and XANES spectra on the Bi and Tl-LIII edges of both glassy and crystalline TlBi2Cl7 show that a close structural similarity exists between both forms. In contrast, the Raman spectra show distinct differences in the bands of the Bi-Cl vibrations region.
