N2  - Syntheses and room-temperature single-crystal X-ray structure determinations are recorded for the title compounds, &#91;bpyH&#93;+&#91;(bpy)BiX4&#93;-, X = Cl, Br, the chloride being obtained in a second acetonitrile- sesquisolvated form. &#91;bpyH&#93;+&#91;(bpy)BiX4&#93;-, X = Cl, Br, are isomorphous, monoclinic C2/c, a &#8776; 15&#183;3, b &#8776; 9&#183;6, c &#8776; 16&#183;8 &#197;, &#946; 109&#176;, Z = 4, conventional R on &#124;F&#124; being 0&#183;056, 0&#183;059 for No 1456, 769 independent &#8216;observed&#8217; (I &#62; 3&#963;(I)) reflections respectively. &#91;bpyH&#93; &#91;(bpy)BiCl4&#93;.1&frac12;MeCN is monoclinic, P21/m, a 9&#183;572(2), b 34&#183;521(8) c 8&#183;218(2) &#197;, &#946; 102&#183;13(2)&#176;, Z = 4, R 0&#183;043 for No 2635. All anionic species are mononuclear, the bismuth being quasi-octahedral. Bands in the far-infrared and Raman spectra due to the vibrations of the N2BiCl4 core in &#91;(bpy)BiCl4&#93;- are assigned, and their relationship to the vibrations of &#91;BiCl6&#93;3- is discussed.
