The three dimensional bismuth ethanedisulfonate framework Bi(O
3 SC2 H4 SO2 )1.5 (H2 O)2 was synthesized under hydrothermal conditions using the bidentate ligand 1,2-ethanedisulfonate and then characterized through X-ray diffraction and elemental analyses. The bismuth cation coordinates at three different ethanedisulfonate ligands and has a coordination number of eight, which is accompanied by a distorted square antiprismatic configuration. Here, we report on the crystal structure of this bismuth metal--organic framework and its coordination behavior, which has thus far not been reported in heavier main group elements.
