An ethanol-solvated centrosymmetric dimer of bismuth(III) and thiosaccharinate resulting from `semicoordination' contacts

In an ethanol-solvated centrosymmetric dimer of bismuth(III) and thiosaccharinate, the Bi³⁺ cation is coordinated by three thio­saccharinate ligands, all of them acting as bidentate chelates through the N and exocyclic S atoms (in a [kappa]²N,S mode). Centrosymmetric dimers result from the association of molecules via [pi]-[pi] interactions.
