Abstract	Bismuth(iii) TEMPOxide compounds have been synthesized from the coupling of Bi(ii) species with the TEMPO? radical. The steric profile of the supporting bis(amido)disiloxane ligand promotes different fluxional behaviour in solution, and DFT calculations suggest variation in the Bi-O bond character. These compounds are active catalysts for oxidative coupling of TEMPO and silane substrates, believed to proceed via metathesis of Bi-O and Si-H bonds followed by decomposition of bismuth-hydride intermediate species.

See more Bismuth products. Bismuth (atomic symbol: Bi, atomic number: 83) is a Block P, Group 15, Period 6 element with an atomic radius of 208.98040. The number of electrons in each of Bismuth's shells is 2, 8, 18, 32, 18, 5 and its electron configuration is [Xe] 4f¹⁴ 5d¹⁰ 6s² 6p³. Bismuth Bohr Model The bismuth atom has a radius of 156 pm and a Van der Waals radius of 207 pm. In its elemental form, bismuth is a silvery white brittle metal. Bismuth is the most diamagnetic of all metals and, with the exception of mercury, its thermal conductivity is lower than any other metal. Elemental Bismuth Bismuth has a high electrical resistance, and has the highest Hall Effect of any metal (i.e., greatest increase in electrical resistance when placed in a magnetic field). Bismuth is found in bismuthinite and bismite. It is also produced as a byproduct of lead, copper, tin, molybdenum and tungsten extraction. Bismuth was first discovered by Early Man. The name Bismuth originates from the German word 'wissmuth,' meaning white mass.
