Abstract: A series of tris-, bis-, and mono(pentafluoroethyl)bismuthanes of the type (C <subscript>2</subscript> F <subscript>5</subscript> ) <subscript>n</subscript> BiX <subscript>3-n</subscript> (X=F, Cl, Br, I) and transition metal complexes are accessible by a sophisticated pentafluoroethylation protocol. Chemical properties, induced by the strongly electron-withdrawing character of C <subscript>2</subscript> F <subscript>5</subscript> groups, are described for representative examples. Moreover, the first molecular structures of perfluoroalkyl bismuthanes and bismuthates obtained by X-ray diffraction are presented.<br /> (© 2017 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim.)
