%X Room-temperature single-crystal X-ray studies are recorded for a number of adducts of BiX3 and N,N&#8242;-bidentate ligand (2,2&#8242;-bipyridine (bpy) or 1,10-phenanthroline (phen)), devoid of coordinated solvent. BiBr3/bpy/MeCN (1 : 1 : 1) is triclinic P-1, a 12&#183;129(2), b 9&#183;955(4), c 7&#183;748(1) &#197;, &#945; 73&#183;14(2), &#946; 77&#183;34(1), &#947; 69&#183;79(2)&#176;, Z = 2; conventional R on &#124;F&#124; was 0&#183;036 for No 2252 independent &#8216;observed&#8217; (I &#62; 3&#963;(I)) reflections. The phen analogue is isomorphous, a 11&#183;586(3), b 10&#183;839(6), c 7&#183;769(10) &#197;, &#945; 73&#183;70(7), &#946; 76&#183;67(7), &#947; 70&#183;34(4)&#176;, Z = 2, R 0&#183;042 for No 800. BiI3/bpy (1 : 1) is triclinic, P-1, a 11&#183;742(4), b 9&#183;261(1), c 8&#183;261(3) &#197;, &#945; 86&#183;46(2), &#946; 71&#183;48(3), &#947; 67&#183;25(2)&#176;, Z = 2, R 0&#183;043 for No 1164. All complexes are centrosymmetric binuclear &#91;(N,N&#8242;-bidentate)X2Bi(&#181;-X)2BiX2(N,N&#8242;-bidentate)&#93; with six-coordinate pseudo-octahedral bismuth(III). Attempts to produce a chloride analogue have resulted, in the case of N,N&#8242;-bidentate = bpy, in a novel adduct of BiCl3/bpy 1 : 1&#183;5 stoichiometry, monoclinic, P21/c, a 9&#183;377(8), b 17&#183;699(5), c 21&#183;58(1) &#197;, &#946; 107&#183;82(6)&#176;, Z = 8, R 0&#183;055 for No 1804. The complex is &#91;(bpy)2Cl2Bi(&#181;-Cl)BiCl3(bpy)&#93;, containing seven- and six-coordinate bismuth. Bands in the far-infrared spectra due to the v(BiX) vibrations in &#91;(bpy)2Cl2Bi(&#181;-Cl)BiCl3(bpy)&#93; and &#91;(bpy)I2Bi(&#181;-I2)BiI2(bpy)&#93; are assigned and discussed in relation to the structures of the complexes.
