Preparations of (perfluoroaryloxy)bismuth oxide complexes have been undertaken in order to study their reactivity patterns as well as their potential use as precursors to bismuth-containing superconductors via sol gel or CVD processes. The reaction of the dimeric complex (Bi(OC$\sb6$F$\sb5)\sb3$(toluene)$\rbrack\sb2,$ prepared by reaction of BiPh$\sb3$ with HOC$\sb6$F$\sb5$ in refluxing toluene, with NaOC$\sb6$F$\sb5$ in THF yields the hexanuclear complex, $\rm Bi\sb6(O)\sb3(OC\sb6F\sb5)\sb{12}.$ Three sodium-bismuth alkoxide complexes were found. The reaction of BiCl$\sb3$ with three equivalents of NaOC$\sb6$F$\sb5$ in THF yields the tetranuclear sodium salt NaBi$\sb4(\rm O)\sb2(OC\sb6F\sb5)\sb9(THF)\sb2.$ The polymeric chain of $\rm \lbrack NaBi(OPh\sb{f})\sb4\cdot THF\rbrack\infty$ was synthesized from the reaction of (Bi(OC$\sb6$F$\sb5)\sb3$(toluene)$\rbrack\sb2$ with one equivalent of NaOC$\sb6$F$\sb5$ in THF. An octahedron of mixed metals, $\rm Na\sb4Bi\sb2(O)(OPh\sb{f})\sb8\cdot(THF)\sb4$ was synthesized from (Bi(OC$\sb6$F$ \sb5)\sb3$(toluene)) $\sb2$ and two equivalents of NaOC$\sb6$F$\sb5$ in THF. Single crystal structure determination and variable temperature NMR studies were done on theses compounds.
