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.

BiOI-MWCNT composites, with high absorption and visible-light photocatalytic performance, were synthesized by a solvothermal process, in which ethylene glycol (EG) participated in the reaction. Synthesized BiOI-MWCNT composites were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), diffuse reflectance spectra (DRS), scanning electronic microscopy

The solvothermal reactions of BiI(3), KI, I(2), 4,4'-bipyridine (4,4'-bipy), and a small amount of water in alcohol and acetonitrile produced four bipyridinium iodobismuthates {[MQ](3)[Bi(2)I(6)(μ-I)(3)][Bi(2)I(6)(μ-I)(2)(MQ)(2)](3)} (1, MQ(+) = N-methyl-4,4'-bipyridinium), {[EQ](3)[Bi(2)I(6)(μ-I)(3)][Bi(2)I(6)(μ-I)(2)(EQ)(2)](3)} (2, EQ(+) = N-ethyl-4,4'-bipyridinium), [MV][BiI(5)] (Eur.

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
