To study pnictogen bonding involving bismuth, flexible accordion-like molecular complexes of the composition [P(C6H4-o-CH2SCH3)(3)BiX3], (X=Cl, Br, I) have been synthesised and characterised. The strength of the weak and mainly electrostatic interaction between the Bi and P centres strongly depends on the character of the halogen substituent on bismuth, which is confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses, DFT and ab initio computations. Significantly, Bi-209-P-31 through-space coupling (J=2560 Hz) is observed in solid-state P-31 NMR spectra, which is so far unprecedented in the literature, delivering direct information on the magnitude of this pnictogen interaction.
