Bismuth polycations

Bismuth polycations are polyatomic ions of the formula Bin+x. They were originally observed in solutions of bismuth metal in molten bismuth chloride. It has since been found that these clusters are present in the solid state, particularly in salts where germanium tetrachloride or tetrachloroaluminate serve as the counteranions, but also in amorphous phases such as glasses and gels. Bismuth endows materials with a variety of interesting optical properties that can be tuned by changing the supporting material. Commonly-reported structures include the trigonal bipyramidal Bi3+5 cluster, the octahedral Bi2+6 cluster, the square antiprismatic Bi2+8 cluster, and the tricapped trigonal prismatic Bi5+9 cluster.

Nomenclature of Polycyclic Compounds: Naphthalene, Biphenyl, Anthracene, Spiro, Bicyclo

We've done tons of IUPAC nomenclature for simple molecules, but once we start introducing multiple rings, things get trickier. This is especially the case because there are so many ways to get multiple rings. They can be fused, they can be bicyclic, aromatic or aliphatic, and every type ha

Could this be the next best battery replacement?

Bismuth is non-toxic, and this trait has intrigued scientists to wonder if it could become a battery replacement. Bismuth is benign, unlike other metals that can harm people and the environment.ย  Because itโ€™s non-toxic, youโ€™ve likely ingested bismuth to treat an upset stomach, and if you
