%X The three dimensional bismuth ethanedisulfonate framework Bi(O 3SC 2H 4SO 3) 1.5(H 2O) 2 was synthesized under hydrothermal conditions using the bidentate ligand 1,2-ethanedisulfonate and then characterized through X-ray diffraction and elemental analyses. The bismuth cation coordinates at three different ethanedisulfonate ligands and has a coordination number of eight, which is accompanied by a distorted square antiprismatic configuration. Here, we report on the crystal structure of this bismuth metal¨Corganic framework and its coordination behavior, which has thus far not been reported in heavier main group elements.
