Abstract: The title compound, [Bi(C₃H₅OS₂)₃(C₁₂H₈N₂)] [systematic name: tris(ethoxymethanedithioato-²S,S')(1,10-phenanthroline)bismuth(III)], is monomeric, with the Bi atom chelated by the S atoms of three ethylxanthate ligands and the N atoms of 1,10-phenanthroline. The central Bi^III atom is eight-coordinate and adopts a distorted capped-pentagonal-bipyramidal geometry. In the crystal structure, weak C-HS interactions and a close SS contact stabilize the structure [SS = 3.509 (3) Å].
