<br/>Halometallates have interesting and useful properties that are currently being explored. To understand how they are formed, we are studying their structural diversity. This research is an attempt to form three-dimensional crystal structures to function as possible semiconductors. Under hydrothermal conditions, iodobismuthates containing the ligand imidazole hydrochloride were synthesized. To enhance their structural diversity, we have additionally prepared them in organic solvents that vary in polarity.  Using x-ray crystallography, it has been revealed that crystal structures have been formed with the organic salt and ligand. Characterization of these materials by diffuse reflectance UV-spectroscopy, infrared spectroscopy, as well as differential scanning calorimetry will also be discussed.<br/>
