Triphenylbismuth Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

white to off-white crystalline powder

Uses

Triphenylbismuth, as an volatile organometallic used in the preparation of thin films of superconducting oxides by CVD. It is also added to the fuel of rocket as cruing agent. It acts as a solidifying catalyst for butyl hydroxyl propellants.

Preparation

Triphenylbismuth is conveniently prepared by reaction of Phenylmagnesium Bromide with BiCl3 in ether.

storage

It ?must be stored in dark bottles in the absence of moisture or acidic vapors. Use in a fume hood.

Purification Methods

Dissolve it in EtOH, precipitate it with H2O, extract with Et2O, dry and evaporate till the residue crystallises. It has been recrystallised from EtOH and Et2O/EtOH and is a stable compound.
