Inorganic Ligands Sb and Bi: Synthesis and Crystal Structures of Complexes with Mixed-Ligand Cluster Cores {ReSeSb} and {ReSeBi}.

The reactions of ReI, Se, and KCN with SbO or BiO at elevated temperature led to the formation of two new tetrahedral clusters with mixed-ligand cluster cores {ReSeSb} and {ReSeBi}. They are the first examples of complexes with either Sb or Bi ligands, which have never been previously described in the literature.
