Bis(morpholinium) tetraiodo(morpholine-4-carbodithioato-²S,S')bismuth(III)

F. Li, H. Yin and D. Wang

Abstract: The crystal structure of the title compound, (C₄H₁₀NO)₂[Bi(C₅H₈NOS₂)I₄], the Bi^III complex anions and morpholinium cations. The Bi^III ion is coordinated by four I^- anions and two S atoms from a morpholine-4-carbodithioate (mcda) dianion with a distorted octahedral coordination geometry. In the anion, Bi, the CS₂ atoms, N, O and two I atoms are located on a mirror plane; the morpholine C atoms of the mcda ligand are disordered on both sides of the mirror plane. N-HI hydrogen bonding between the morpholinium cation and the Bi^III complex stabilize the crystal structure.
