Demonstratingthe Chemoselective Lewis Acid Activityof Pyridine(Diimine) Bismuth Cations

Abstract Herein, we describe the preparation of a library of cationic bismuth(III) pyridine(diimine) compounds and the assessment of their Lewis acidity measured by their interaction with phosphine oxides, acid halides, and ketones. These bismuth compounds have acceptor number va...
