title: Redetermination of bis[mu(3)-1,3,5-triamino-1,3,5-trideoxy-cis-inositolato(3-)]tribismuth(III) trichloride hexahydrate.
abstract: The crystal structure of the title compound, [Bi(3)(C(6)H(12)N(3)O(3))(2)]Cl(3).6H(2)O, which was described in the space group R3 [Hegetschweiler, Ghisletta & Gramlich (1993). Inorg. Chem. 32, 2699-2704], has been redetermined in the revised space group R32 as suggested by Marsh [Acta Cryst. (2002), B58, 893-899]. Accordingly, the significant difference in the Bi-N bond distances of 2.43 (2) and 2.71 (1) A, as noted in the previous study, proved to be an artifact. As a consequence, the [Bi(3)(H(-3)taci)(2)]Cl(6/3) entity (taci is 1,3,5-triamino-1,3,5-trideoxy-cis-inositol) adopts D(3) symmetry and the three Bi atoms lie on C(2) axes with equal Bi-N bond distances of 2.636 (3) A.
