Abstract

Reaction of Bi((OᵗBu)₃ with aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid = aspH) in dry toluene results in the bismuth(III) complex, [Bi(O₂C(C₆H₄)OAc)₃]∞ 1 (O₂C(C₆H₄)OAc = asp), minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) against Helicobacter pylori >= 6.25 mu g mL⁻¹), while the inclusion of a stoichiometric equivalent of (KOᵗBu)leads to crystals of the bismuthate salt [KBi(O₂C(C₆H₄)OAc)₄]∞ 2.
