Trivalent bismuth compounds featuring octahedral halide coordination, such as BiI3, double-perovskite structures and vacancy-ordered perovskite derivatives, have recently attracted considerable attention as potential environmentally benign thin film materials for solar light-harvesting and optoelectronic applications aiming to replace toxic lead-based perovskites.

A novel series of Ge-Te-BiI(3) chalcogenide glasses were prepared by traditional melt-quenching method and the glass-forming region was determined. Properties measurements including density, Vis-NIR and infrared (IR) transmission spectra with FTIR, XRD, DSC were adopted to analyze the composition, structure

The dehydration of a iodobismuthate hybrid built up from Bi(4)I(16) clusters and protonated L-cystine molecules involves an unprecedented reversible dynamic structural change in the solid state leading to 1D BiI(4) chains and 1D helical molecular chains, highlighting the templating effect

A systematic spectrophotometric study on the ion-pair formation of Bi(III)-iodide with amineptine hydrochloride, piribedil and trimebutine maleate is carried out. The optimal experimental conditions pH, concentration of Bi(III) nitrate, potassium iodide; and the nature and amount of organic solvent have
