title: Synthesis and crystal structure of a "FeBi" cluster compound with noncovalent low-valent Bi···π(arene) interactions.
abstract: We describe the synthesis and structural characterization of the unprecedented [Bi4Fe3(CO)9] cluster, the low-valent Bi atoms of which are involved in the types of previously not identified intermolecular Bi···π(arene) and ΔBi···π(arene)interactions. Different coordination modes of arene rings bound to Bi atoms were determined.
