Abstract

A complex of thiourea and bismuth trichloride has been synthesized. Its composition is Bi3Cl9[SC(NH2)2]7. Crystallographic data are a = 7.141(2) Å, b = 8.820(3) Å, c = 16.365(5) Å, α = 99.389(4)°, β = 95.422(4)°, γ = 106.177(4)°, triclinic system. There are the mononuclear anion [BiCl5SC(NH2)2]2− and the dinuclear cation {Bi2Cl4[SC(NH2)2]6}2+ with the Bi–Cl–Bi bridge bonds in the complex. The electric conductance of the absolute methanol solution contained the complex indicates that the complex is an ionic compound. Raman spectra indicate that the bismuth ion is coordinated by the sulfur atoms of the thiourea. The thermal analysis verifies the structure of complex. The TG–MASS curves show the structure rearrangement in the complex at about 118 °C. The DSC curves and calculation means that the structure rearrangement is irreversible.
