Aryl-transfer reagent in synthesis
Triarylbismuth(V) dicarboxylates such as this compound are well-documented mild reagents for the arylation of carbon, nitrogen and oxygen nucleophiles, including phenols, enols and amines, under comparatively neutral conditions.
Selective oxidant
Pentavalent organobismuth(V) acetates are used as mild, selective oxidising agents in organic chemistry, for example in the oxidation of alcohols and certain diols to the corresponding carbonyl compounds.
Catalysis and inorganic chemistry
It serves as a defined bismuth(V) building block for catalysis studies and the preparation of other organobismuth species in inorganic and organometallic research.
Vapour-deposition precursor research
As an organobismuth source, it is of interest in materials science and micro/nanoelectronics as a candidate precursor for chemical vapour deposition (CVD) and atomic layer deposition (ALD) of bismuth-containing films.
Reference and laboratory reagent
The material is supplied as a research-grade reagent for method development, synthetic chemistry and analytical reference work where a well-characterised triphenylbismuth(V) diacetate is required.

What grade and purity does Tech Serve Solutions supply?
+
Tech Serve Solutions supplies this product as a solid with a typical assay of 98%, as a technical/research-grade reagent. We do not represent it as USP, BP or EP pharmacopoeial grade. A batch-specific certificate of analysis can be provided with each consignment.
What are the safety and handling requirements?
+
Handle only with suitable personal protective equipment: eye shields, gloves and a particulate respirator (type N95 (US) or P1 (EN143)). The solid melts with decomposition at about 170 C, so avoid heating and ignition sources. It carries a German Water Hazard Class (WGK) of 3, indicating it is severely hazardous to water, so prevent release to drains and the environment. Always consult the current Safety Data Sheet before use.
