Bismuth-containing materials are associated with a variety of applications such as high-Tc superconductivity, oxide ion conduction, specialized glasses, pigments, thermoelectric devices,
catalysts and ferroelectric devices.1,2 Homo- and heterometallic bismuth alkoxides are well known precursors for heterometallic metal oxide materials, but in contrast to the alkoxides the
corresponding bismuth silanolates have been studied only briefly.3-5 In this communication we report results on our attempts to prepare bismuth trimethylsilanolate via the metathesis route
using alkali metal trimethylsilanolates. Instead of pure Bi(OSiMe3)3 several alkali metal-bismuth silanolate oxo clusters were isolated. In addition we report novel clusters of partially
hydrolyzed sodium trimethylsilanolate. The structures presented here demonstrate the diversity of the coordination geometry which is realized by bismuth and sodium in metal oxo clusters.
