title: Paddlewheel 1,2,4-diazaphospholide dibismuthanes with very short bismuth-bismuth single bonds.
abstract: One-electron oxidation of the 1,2,4-diazaphospholide anion [3,5-R2dp](-) by BiCl3 generated several remarkable paddlewheel dibismuthanes [L2(Bi-Bi)L2] (L = η(1),η(1)-3,5-R2dp, R = tBu, iPr, or Ph) with very short Bi-Bi single bond lengths (2.7964(4)-2.8873(3) Å).
