Abstract:New serine complex of bismuth (Ⅲ), (C3H6O3N)2Bi(μ I)2Bi[(C3H6O3N)I]·H2O was synthesized by the solid phase reaction at room temperature. The complex has been characterized by elemental analysis, X ray powder diffraction, far infrared spectra and TG DTA analysis. The results of indexing of the X ray diffraction patterns indicate the crystal structure of bismuth complex with serine belongs to a orthorhombic system and the lattice parameters are: a=0.796 7 nm, b=1.987 5 nm, c=2.203 4 nm.
