Heavy Chains: Synthesis, Reactivity and Decomposition of Interpnictogen Chains with Terminal Diaryl Bismuth Fragments.

ABSTRACT: In this work, we report the preparation of multiple interpnictogen chain compounds with three consecutive pnictogen atoms and terminal Ar₂ Bi fragments (Ar=Ph, Mes). Symmetrical compounds of the form Ar₂ Bi-E(tBu)-Bi₂ Ar (1: Ar=Ph, E=P; 2: Ar=Ph, Mes, E=As) as well as ternary interpnictogen compounds of the form Ar₂ Bi-E¹ (tBu)-E² tBu₂ (Ar=Ph, Mes; 4: E¹ =P, E² =As; 5: E¹ =P, E² =Sb; 6: E¹ =As, E² =P) were prepared. The decomposition in solution at room temperature and under the influence of light was studied for compounds 1-6. The reactivity of 1_Ph and 2_Ph with the small N-heterocyclic carbene 1,3,4,5-tetramethylimidazol-2-yli
