The first trivalent and pentavalent tricarbabismatranes were synthesized by the reaction of N(CH2{2-LiC6H4})3 with BiCl3 and subsequent reaction with XeF2, respectively. The trivalent bismatrane was easily oxidized by air, while the pentavalent bismatrane difluoride was relatively stable to air. A similar pentavalent bismatrance dichloride was prone to C-Cl bond reductive elimination even at room temperature.
