There has been much recent interest in heavy pnictogen heterocycles for their potential use as single source precursors for solution phase nanoparticle synthesis and organometallic vapor phase epitaxy. We have undertaken the synthesis of dimeric bismuth-tin imides via the reaction of tris(trialkylstannyl)amine and arylhalobismuth precursors and herein report their reactivity and characterization. We anticipate that protonolysis of the dimers may be a point of entry into high-nuclearity compounds containing nitrogen bound only to bismuth and other metal ions. These compounds may also offer pathway to the synthesis of nanoparticle and bulk phase interpnictogen species.
