Exploring Bismuth Coordination Complexes as Visible-Light Absorbers: Synthesis, Characterization, and Photophysical Properties.

ABSTRACT: Bismuth-based coordination complexes are advantageous over other metal complexes, as bismuth is the heaviest nontoxic element with high spin-orbit coupling and potential optoelectronics applications. Herein, four bismuth halide-based coordination complexes [Bi₂Cl₆(phen-thio)₂] (1), [Bi₂Br₆(phen-thio)₂] (2), [Bi₂I₆(phen-thio)₂] (3), and [Bi₂I₆(phen-Me)₂] (4) were synthesized, characterized, and subjected to detailed photophysical studies. The complexes were characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, powder X-ray diffraction, and NMR studies. Spectroscopic analyses of 1-4 in solutions of different polarities were
