title: Unusual structural trends in the [MCl3([8]aneSe2)](M = As, Sb, Bi) adducts.
abstract: The structures of the homologous [MCl(3)([8]aneSe(2))](M = As, Sb or Bi; [8]aneSe(2)= 1,5-diselenacyclooctane) ladder structures formed from planar M(2)Cl(6) units linked by selenoether ligands with trans Se atoms reveal unexpected structural patterns--possible reasons for these are discussed.
