The data were corrected for absorption using a lamina model with the aid of seven ψ-scans at different θ-angles (min/max transmission = 0.1699/0.7360). Qualitative microprobe elemental analysis (energy-dispersive X-ray analysis for elements heavier than oxygen) performed on the same crystal showed Bi and K only.

It showed diamagnetic, temperature-independent behavior. For the EPR measurements a few large crystals of 1 were ground to fine powder that was then sealed in a quartz tube, and later the same powder was redissolved in ethylenediamine, placed in a tube, and measured again. Spectra were recorded at 8, 80, 120, and 295 K. There was no signal from either the solid or the solution.
