Diverse structures and remarkable oxidizing ability of triarylbismuthane oxides. Comparative study on the structure and reactivity of a series of triarylpnictogen oxides
A systematic series of triarylbismuthane oxides was prepared in order to disclose their structure and reactivity, which have been compared with those of lighter pnictogen counterparts. In sharp contrast to their phosphorus, arsenic, and antimony counterparts, triarylbismuthane oxides are thermally unstable and possess a high oxidizing ability.
